Finders, keepers; losers, weepers was one of my favorites from @Seirre this year and was a fave I remember from this year's napo.
Honorable mentions ~ I really enjoy Are You Angry with Me by @tgirly, "Dust Mote Impressions" by @Liminality from early in the year is a fave that I still think about. I read so much poetry this year by so many users it's really really hard to try to narrow down things to a few favorites. :]
Best Roleplay: Nate the Dragon !! led by the capable & chaotic @Carina
