category: general [glöplog]
Don't forget: tonight is the submission deadline for productions, jurors and special categories!
Take part!
Take part!

- Do I get it right that THE graphician/musician/coder/'blablatitle' have to submit her/himself with an entry?
- Do I get it right that there is no open general public award, but based on creators submittance and limited to voting on those?
You are right on both accounts. This is the way we decided to go. It would be just too much for the jurymembers to sit down and watch every singe prod released in the year. It would be impossible. So only those productions submitted for jurying will be considered.
Little over an hour left to submit your prods and jury participation!

"The Meteoriks are named after the deceased Giles 'Meteorik/Meaty' Constant to honor his dedication to the demoscene and the inspiration he was to others within the community."
Alright, thanks Knoeki :)

So well deserved that I wonder why they even bothered to announced the other nominees.
Seriously, I still feel that if you're honoring someone, you should at least have a page that tells those people who didn't know him who he is and why you're honoring him. I'd love to know. No, I'm not going to piece things together through random google searches.

So, for example if you want to know more about the Public Choice: http://meteoriks.org/nominees#nominees-10
I hope this answers your question. Or did you mean you want a written statement about how the results came to be? Because not even scene.org did that.

I think he was referring to the fact that the name of the awards is a tribute to Meaty

Why not? That's what I usually do whenever there's something I'd love to know.

Also seriously, it's the first entry in our FAQ :)
FWIW, his name in that FAQ entry could maybe linked to his Demozoo profile, although that will of course only show very little of what he did for the scene (though we could of course mention his quizzes and stuff on that page).
or describe him as the frankie boyle of the demoscene! :)
yay gonna vote :)
... public voting finished almost a week ago.
:( sucks being busy etc
