Statuettes are being crafted as we speak. We'll have two awards (a gold and a silver) for each category due to pretty extensive publisher demand that runners-up get something too. We'll have all of the completed statuettes actually at the ceremony, so winners will be able to go home with them there and then.
I'm in the process of arranging for various people to present different awards. If any of you have any ideas for presenters, please let me know. The only caveat is that we can't have someone presenting an award which they might be nominated in! So far we have James Mathe of RPGNow, Eric Noah and the Ambient kids (youngest designers in the industry) presenting awards.
