Here are my other questions for the community about the awards:
2.
The number of awards. I propose that we give out 3 awards -- 1st, 2nd
and 3rd places. I would like to recognize the creativity I see shown in
last year's designs, and I want to encourage more creative designs in
the future. I'm not saying that 3 awards (or even 1) is mandatory.
There should only be awards for games we'd think publishers would
seriously consider. We won't let any finalist fall short of that
criterion, and we could let voters pick "No award" as an option for
finalists they don't think worthy. Still, I think there are enough
entries from last year good enough that we could give 3 awards. Your
thoughts?
3. The design of the awards. My basic thought was to get some inexpensive
trophies from a local business that makes them, and place gold-painted
pyramids atop them. Variations include:
A) 1st has a large, 2nd a medium, 3rd a small pyramid.
B) 1st has a
tree, 2nd a truncated tree (medium on a large), 3rd a single large
pyramid.
C) 1st has a stack of 3 larges, 2nd a stack of 3 mediums,
3rd a stack of 3 small pyramids.
