So, despite the suggestion that the inner council do this, I am going to start this up myself. PM me any campaign that you think is worthy, including your own. Include the link!!
I will reach out to some of the old timers that have won this, and get there input as well (Looking at you Twiggyleaf, Keryth987, Basileus, and AZ Rune).
We will announce one each month, starting in February. Submissions due by the 21st of each month. It must be a current game.
Get those suggestions to me, and I will pass them on to the others. Click on my name below.

Unconquered Kingdoms, July 2016 CotM
Unfortunately, I've not gone browsing other campaigns lately, as I'm buried with redoing Shadows right now :)

"Shadows Over New York":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/shadows-over-new-york
"2013 Campaign of The Year":http://blog.obsidianportal.com/2013-coty-shadows-over-new-york/
"Campaign of the Month July 2013":http://blog.obsidianportal.com/shadows-over-new-york-julys-campaign-of-the-month/
"Star Wars: Veil of Darkness":https://veilofdarkness.obsidianportal.com/ A fairly dark Star Wars Campaign with a heavy wiki and good participation.
"The Legacy of Fire":https://our-legacy-of-fire.obsidianportal.com/wikis/main-page Light on content but with some pleasing CSS
Twiggyleaf's "Mysteria":https://mysteria.obsidianportal.com/ Which I'm a fan of, personally.
"Embyr":https://embyr.obsidianportal.com/ Which has a rich history and pleasantly long adventure logs
"Adoraith":https://adoraith-echoes-of-epirus.obsidianportal.com/ A very indepth dark fantasy campaign including actual pictures of play
"Dragon Age Requiem":https://da-requiem.obsidianportal.com/ by Alex_Redeye if you haven't checked it out already. The CSS on his campaign is spot on
"Outremer":https://outremer.obsidianportal.com/wikis/main-page probably one of the most beautiful looking campaigns on here and has a great wiki
"The Hos Dynasty":https://rogue-trader-the-hos-dynasty.obsidianportal.com/ not the prettiest, but you have to commend those in depth write ups.
These are just some of the ones I like reading that haven't won a COTM yet. I mean there's a lot more out there too.

I'll do some browsing for nominations (can I nominate if I vote? if not, I'll just leave them here for someone else to nominate...).
Currently looking at a couple campaigns:
"Blood and Bourbon":https://blood-and-bourbon.obsidianportal.com/
"Skrzydła Rocranon":https://skrzydla-rocranon.obsidianportal.com/ (In Polish. Its "Rocranon Wings" and the auto-translated version is "here":https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pl&u=https://skrzydla-rocranon.obsidianportal.com/wikis/main-page&prev=search)
If it does not get sent to me in a PM it will not go on the list, so please send me a PM "here":https://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/killervp
That goes to the voters as well Basileus....
There are some great campaigns out there.... please don't be afraid to nominate yourself.
Some things that I know at least three of us look for (Twigs and I used to nominate people together, and would sometimes include AZ Rune) is a rich wiki- pictures, parchments, etc, and adventure logs that actually tell stories, not just reporting.

Killervp- "A God...Rebuilt":https://a-god-rebuilt.obsidianportal.com is the 4th highest campaign in # of fans, and he has been an active promoter/challenger of OP.

"OP's COTM April 2012":http://blog.obsidianportal.com/a-god-rebuilt-aprils-cotm/
Over 350 Fans, and Looking for More!

I think COTM works best as a community-led initiative - by the gamers, for the gamers, kind of thing.
If you might like OP to kick in with some prizes, feel free to ping me.
PS: If useful we can also create a tab/page at the "campaigns page":https://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns which links to or lists the COTM and COTY winners.
It would be great to add the COTM back into the Campaign page, and a listing of the Campaigns of the Year would be great as well.
I personally think the COTY should be the only one that wins a prize.
My 2 cents.

1) the badges,
2) creating a COTM-specific listing on campaigns page
3) blog post: sure thing on posting interviews with the winner, judges' notes, feedback, evaluation, on the entries, or even tips on GMing your first face-to-face campaign, or online one, setting up google hangouts, etc.
eh, sorry for the thread highjack, I'll start a new post about posting on the OP blog.
