[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8716868, member: 1"] The [B]Diana Jones Award [/B]is presented each year at Gen Con to just one winner, out of a shortlist. Named after the [I]Indiana Jones[/I] RPG, the burned remains of which are encased in the trophy (leaving just the words 'Diana Jones' visible), the award rewards 'excellence in gaming', and can go to anyone or anything -- a person, a product, a convention, a movement (a couple of years ago it went to the [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/diana-jones-award-goes-to-actual-play.665609/']concept of Actual Play[/URL]). Ajit George tweeted "Wow. It is hard to describe how I feel about winning the Diana Jones Award, particularly for the reasons I was nominated. It means a tremendous amount to me--the feeling of being [I]seen[/I] and acknowledged*--especially for something so core to my values."
