With 2012 nearly at an end, who is your pick for New Zealander of the Year?

In the arts, it's been a big year for people like Bret McKenzie, Kimbra and Sir Peter Jackson.

Fonterra's Henry van der Heyden and entrepreur Geoff Ross have been successful in the business world.

On the sports front, Olympians Sophie Pascoe, Eric Murray and Lisa Carrington have had a great year, as has Sonny Bill Williams and All White/West Ham United player Winston Reid.

Or perhaps your pick is one of this year's newsmakers, like Kim Dotcom or Jaime Ridge?

Who is your New Zealander of the year? Here is the latest selection of Your Views:

   "Kim Dotcom is emerging as being the victim of a panting, tail-wagging, lapdog government way too eager to please its American masters."
3. Sheelagh says
   "Sam Johnson of Christchurch. He is the young man responsible for the Student Volunteer Army. Altruism should be his middle name."
