[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 3019122, member: 7394"] [list=1] Yes, I think they should be able to, if their nomination receives a second. I think it should be possible to sweep both categories. If it's really that good, why limit the product's winning potential? Products should be rewarded for their content. I like this idea. Categories are fine, in my opinion. That isn't the source of my concern about the awards, but I'll get into that below. [/list] I'm not sure I have any specific criteria for categories. If they seem logical, they should be fine. Now, my feedback regarding the stuff you didn't ask about. My concern about the ENnies is the way in which the awards progress. After judge selection, the first phase is the publisher nomination. This is followed by the judges narrowing it down to a few products. Then the winners are finally determined by a popular vote. I feel that steps two and three should be reversed if you want an outcome based on the product's merit as opposed to overall popularity. Consider this. The publishers nominate products, and then they go to a popular vote to determine overall popularity. At this point, each category is narrowed down to, say, five products in every category. Now, at this point, the products are submitted by the publishers to the judges. Each of the judges is qualified to render a final verdict on these products because they (1) were elected by a popular vote by the community that hosts these awards, and (2) they actually have, and are forced to read, the products submitted to them. I feel that this would make the ENnies better because the winners wouldn't be determined by the mob, but by the people who are a cut above in terms of their ability to rate products. As things stand, and I give mad props to every company that has ever won one of these things, but it seems that the winners can have just as much to do with that company's marketing budget than definable quality.
