[QUOTE="zouron, post: 12898, member: 920"] Personally I fidn that it is a very good if not better idea to have both an editor's/judges award and the people's award, both have merits, especially if the judge one also include reasons for why the winner stands out for being the best. I feel both have value both for people like me that buy the products only, and people that produces them (and I assume buys too! hehe). The judges award would really give us an idea what is quality work, while the people's are more often a what things people like to see (and popularity contest, but everything is that on some level!). So while I ahve nothing new to add, I defaintely feel that you should go with the solution of two awards. Let publishers enter a reasonable number of products, not as many as thy like, but up to say 5 or so for each catagory (I dread the judge that has to read 39 from the same company!). And really people that made exlcusively pdfs and sell them, could print out a few and send them off, you know writers and others often have to send hard copies too ;-) it is just the rules of the game. (I personally would hate sitting on a screen reading stuff intensively, makes me very tired and unfocused). ohh and don't announce judges award before peoples, that would be unfair towards those that didn't get picked, peoples choice is what they like best for whatever reason at time of picking, not what they have been told by the local board of judges to like.
