What 'best newcomer' should be considered on should be entirely up to the voters, I think - not on specific criteria like no. of posts, usefulness of posts, sexiness of posts or whatever. Just what the voters consider to be 'best', without having to justify it.
An award of that nature was discussed. The problem was the practicality/details of it... that is why the suggestion was made for the best introduction instead.
