From Scene.org website:

On a more personal note I'd like to thank everyone who's been involved organizing the Awards during the years - BP, TG, Asm and Revision org, all the jury members, everyone in Scene.org Awards org: Netpoet, Steeler, Leia, Gloom, Knos, ps, Dixan, Pan, Blueberry, D'arcy, Visualice, Ryg, kb, Solenoid, Numtek, Micksam, Ziphoid, Truck.... All the amazing guys and gals who made the opening demos and background visuals: Visualice+Virgill, Nytrik+LB, Moppi Productions, Aenima, Kewlers, Keyboarders, 1/2 bit Cheese, Ript + Disaster Area, Bob, Still.. and probably tons of people I should've mentioned but forgot from the list - sorry!

Now off to something different...

;(

This sucks, big time. :(

And here goes my first pony reply

big thanks to all who helped organize the awards over the years, you made the world a better place!

so, the scene IS dying

Holy shucks, that's crazy!

Why?

well this sucks... :/

:(

We're gonna have Bacon Awards then, courtesy of this very site and the piggy that everyone loves.

:(((

I had heard rumours scene.org awards would not happen this year but I didn't know they planed on ending it all. This is really sad and a major blow to the scene I think. At least for me, the scene.org awards has been one of the pillars of the demoscene and something I have looked forward to each year with great anticipation. It also helped groups feel ok with releasing more serious releases at smaller parties as it still had a chance of getting the publicity it deserved if it was good enough to be nominated for the scene.org awards.

Hopefully, some one will take up the torch and organize something similar in the future.

Thank you for all the great memories, your hard work and dedication!

BRING BACK THE ONLY DEMO AWARDS

... also, what velo said.

Wow :(

I've had the opportunity thanks to Willbe to be called to do my scene duty and I've done it with great pleasure during two years. It's sad to see it ends at some points but you know what they: all good things must come to an end.

:[

what nosfe & velo said

It's sad, yes. But then again, if the team is not satisfied with the work they're doing and the critics are getting harsher every year, it's maybe the best choice for them.

If I've learned one thing about the demoscene it's that nothing really ends and the scene surely isn't dying because of it. Somebody somewhere will do something to keep it alive - always.

this is really sad. the scene.org awards have been a great motivation over the years for me and many others, and an honour to even be nominated for let alone win.

however i can totally understand why it's coming to a close.

(the awards could only ever be as good as the demos available to be nominated)

sorry to see it go - big ups to the people who organized it, it's been a huge phenomenon over the last decade.

Thanks for all your hard work guys, and for being such good sports about the haters, who can of course smoke a giant finnish cock. I always understood the motivation behind the awards, and I do consider it one of the good outreach efforts. Fun fact: I've used it myself as a bit of a curriculum. Since I am the worst ever at being up to date about cool new stuff, I could always check out the scene.org awards and see what I should at least have heard of to hide the fact that I am a total lamer even after all these years :)

With that in place - we are pleased to announce that the DUB AWARDS will hit you, with the speed, ferocity and sloppiness of me hitting someones mother.

Aww, shame though not a real surprisr, unfortunately. Happy to have been a small part of it!

Truth is out now, it's sad but it was also somehow foreseeable :/
It was an honor to me to be part of the award staff team since last year.
If there will be another kind of award, count me in to help :)

This is really sad news. I felt the awards was one of the things bringing the scene together and a great way to celebrate the demoscene-achievements of the past year as a whole. Thanks a lot to the guys involved, and here's to hoping that something similar will surface soon!

Aye. <3 to those key people in and around the awards. i had fun being in the jury in the past few years. Sadly, getting something similar wont be that easy in credibility/authority (jury/status and all that). but let's see what happens.

Sad to see this happening, but on the other hand i understand.
