The voting system would rely entirely on people's memories and awareness.Smaller publishers would have an even harder time getting an award.Older products would suffer in favor of those that came out right before the awards.I really like the judges/nomination process. About the only thing I'd do different is require a turnover in the judge's panel--not because I'm unhappy with the judges, but because it just seems fair.Are the awards without problems? Of course not. Are they better than any industry awards system I've been a part of in my 15 professional years? Yes. I too, by the way, think that it'd be fine if WotC products could be a part of the art and graphics awards. I like, however, that the awards focus on d20/D&D. If I had my way, those awards would be opened up to WotC and other non-OGC D&D related companies, but not to the entire industry. The industry as a whole has awards already. It would be jarring, I think, to see HeroClix in the awards somehow (I use that as an example because it's something I've worked on).</blockquote>
