Demo of the Year
Hello.
I'm surprised this idea hasn't been floated around. In the past two years, we have had C64.SK and CSDb ramping up with up to date information on demo releases throughout the year.
Why not have a Demo of the Year voting in Jan. 2004 for demos that were released throughout 2003? Thanks to C64.SK, we know whose demo entries won various competitions, which ones were released, etc. Why not compile a list of demos that won their respective demo party/competition, plus maybe an open invitation to a demo or two to round up the list?
CSDb or some other forum could then host the list and have a voting function for the C64 demo scene in choosing the Demo of the Year 2003. This would be a nice honor and one that is finally made possible thanks to reliable sources like CSDb and C64.SK. I'd like to write about the winning demo entry in a printed Commodore publication as well. :)
Any thoughts? Ideas?
Enjoy.

Wait, wait wait... at first Todd this idea is great, but you want to do it serious, then you cant do it with your criteria?
Choosing 17 WINNING demos is NO good idea. I mean take a compo like floppy 2003, that compo had IMO atleast 4 great demos which surely belong to top 17demos this year. And there were some compos which had only crap entries which shouldnt be included at all.
And your criteria will not be fair either, take for example Vision 2003, many ppl who didnt attend vision 2003 wanted cosine to win the compo but they only placed 3rd in that compo.
4k-demos should not be in the category "best demo of the year" skip that ... EE2E by Krill/Plush is and will be the best 4K demo for 2003.
No Todd, this should not be preselected, every one should be able to vote for an entry, and then it's up to you to compile the results.

I don't really like the idea of someone picking candidates. Let people vote for whatever demos they want to vote for. And _if_ candidates are picked by someone, that someone should be person who knows a bit about demos. Give Dwangi a place in the jury! :-) |

Maybe we can turn the criteria around? Pick 12 people who CREATED compo-winning demos in 2003, and then let them decide from ALL the entries which is the best. |

Hello.
This is an interesting idea. However, I'd like to give the C64 demo scene audience a chance to vote on the releases.
Maybe I can have my cake and eat it, too; Why not combine both ideas?
I could empanel a group of people who have created compo-winning demos in 2003. This panel would then whittle down the Demo of the Year 2003 voting chart to ten or fifteen worthwhile entries. The panel would be free to choose any demo released in 2003 in making up the voting chart.
With the editorial part of the panel selection done, CSDb could then present this Demo of the Year 2003 voting chart for the C64 demo scene audience for the final tally.
How does that sound? :) Problem is, anyone volunteering? :) I would need maybe 10-15 people for the editorial panel, and these people would have to be involved in a 2003 winning demo production. Then, there's the problem of the panel coming to a consensus in drafting up the voting chart.
I could do this myself; I make snap decisions and can quickly come up with a voting chart. But that will mean I probably will leave off worthwhile 2003 demos and leave myself open to heavy criticism. A panel definitely can easily come up with a far better voting chart than I could ever do on my own, but I don't know if they can produce a voting chart ready for January-February 2004 voting by the C64 demo scene audience.
Enjoy.

Thanks! It was partly inspired by the "jury" voting for the SID Compo III. Who better to pick a shortlist than the people who know what they are talking about?
@Eyeth:
You know I am willing to help you with editorial/articles if you need it! |

why not let people vote for any demo they liked best? why this desperation for nominees?
-more than two candidates for president?! mommy, i'm scared! |

Would be interesting to see the results of this one compared to the "Dark Court 2003 special" I'm planning to do .. |

That's what I'm hoping for, yes. |
