After missing a year, Blackice912 managed to convince me to pick up the Neowin Community Game Awards with him again. This time around, we're much more prepared and DirtyLarry has graciously accepted my invitation to help out with graphics, so everything will look so much better. Blackice912 is responsible for the very cool coding work and DirtyLarry is responsible for the absolutely stunning logo and, eventually, the trophy graphic.

To get to the point...

This is the time where everyone is asked to submit one nomination per category. Please realize that this is only a nomination and not a final vote. We will gather nominations for two weeks and then tally the results. The top 5 nominated games in each category will then proceed to the voting round where the winners will be chosen over a two week voting period. Please note that the script uses your Neowin account to identify you and each member may only submit one series of nominations.

In 2005, we started the Neowin Community Game Awards. Unlike other "Best of Year" awards, every step of the process is voted on by the members. From the initial nominations to the final voting, you, the people who play the games, get to voice your opinions on which titles truly stood out from the rest. The NCGA's are the epitome of a "for the fans, by the fans" award.

The time has arrived, finally, for us to pick up where we left off two years ago (we missed a beat in 2006). The nomination round is now upon us. In this round, all members are asked to visit the nomination page and submit their choices for "Best of" in each category. Not a member, but want to contribute? All you have to do is register! This round will continue until October 29th, at which point nominations will be closed and the results tallied. The five most nominated games in each category will then proceed to the final voting round where they'll duke it out for the crown.

Please only nominate games you truly feel deserve the recognition released between October '06 and October '07. You can fill in as many or few of the categories as you like. Blank fields will be accepted as a null nomination.

There's only one thing left to do. Let's get nominating:

Also as a heads up: If you were one of the members who voted during the first day before we added the puzzle category, please visit the nominations site again to be given the chance at nominating your favorite puzzle game! :)

We had about 265 submissions, though it may have been a little more. I know it's nothing super amazing, but I never intended this to be a HUGE industry changing event. Final voting should begin in a day or two.

That's pretty good. I was worried by the replies in this thread we were going to see about 10 to 20 voters :laugh: I can't remember who it was, but a member and I were just talking about it in June or something. Glad to see the feature back finally :)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Doing this type of stuff has pushed me away from using Edge even if I otherwise would've because it tells me Microsoft themselves don't trust the value provided to stand on its own. If Microsoft truly believed in the superiority of their offering, they wouldn't feel pressured to rely on cheap gimmicks and lock-ins to get people to use it. The more companies do this type of stuff, including making it difficult to cancel, the less I feel inclined to use their product because if they can't rely on the product itself for their needs, I shouldn't either.

      All good features. But it is not an actual Windows app. I’d rather use the PWA. Meanwhile but versions - Classic and Modern - are full of bugs and inconsistencies. Yuck.
