Announcing The Meteoriks - A new demoscene award
Announcing The Meteoriks!
We're very happy to announce a brand new award to honor demoscene productions of 2014. Two years after the end of the scene.org awards it is time to celebrate great computer art on the big stage again. In nine base and five special categories as well as a public choice award, we will recognize the best of the best of the previous year.
The Meteoriks are all about inclusion!
If you're a demomaker: Submit your production(s) for consideration
If you're a demoscene expert: Apply to one (or more) of the individual category juries
All others: You're welcome to submit your ideas for our 5 special awards as well as vote for your favourite production in our public choice category (starting in March)
But that's enough talk for now - check out the website and be part of it!

I like how there are "high end" and "low end" categories, not "newschool" and "oldschool" or similarly stupid names :) |

i find it a bit questionable to have people submit their productions (instead of having a jury pick their favourites) - sounds like more work than its worth to me =P |

Indeed. Might introduce a bias towards sub-par demos (similar to random unknown guys with a laughable release history tooting their horns in diskmag interviews). And the name isn't quite my cup of tea either. But taste differs. :) |

To be fair, all prestigious awards (e.g., in the film or music industries) deal with submitted entries and don't claim to have seen all releases there are. It's simply impossible. Now, the demoscene still produces too many releases not to miss this one or that. Might be different for a small sub-scene like this one, but that doesn't matter for an all-demoscene award.
On the other hand, basically every release out of the ordinary gets noticed by the scene, including any self-respecting judge (who should know their subject at hand). |
