If it's not too invasive into the IIT, I think that's a perfect time. Awards shouldn't take long at all, and afterwards we might be able to encourage people to play a game or two of the winning entry. > Shall we say that the ballot box will close on noon on the day I think we can go later than that. We're probably not going to be counting hundreds of ballots, just sort and maybe throw into a spreadsheet or something. If the award is given at 6, then voting can probably go until 5:00 or 5:30. If we get an overwhelming number of votes, the judges can start tallying earlier, that should be alright. > ... the trophy or prize or whatever will be given to the winner ... Speaking of which. The winning game's inventor may or may not be present, which means we may need to mail it or something, possibly never to be seen again. Optimally, a really cool medallion, similar in nature to the other Origins medallions, would be terrif! Or, perhaps, something attractively painted and fFramed? No need to get carried away, but if anyone has an ability to put something together...?
