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.

I like the idea, especially the thought to write an article about the winning demo. I'd support this.

Hello.
I've went through the first eight months' worth of news at C64.SK, scanning for winning demo entries for possible inclusion for the Demo of the Year voting.
Surprisingly, there are 17 demo entries now being considered for this voting chart. I didn't realize there was a lot of activity going on at these C64 and scene parties.
I still have four more months to go. I think it is inevitable that I will have at least 25 demo entries. I think it would be tad too much for the voting chart? Would the sheer number of entries turn off people from voting?
My main criteria was that I picked one demo that won their respective competition. If a particular party had more than five demo entries, I would pick the second winning demo entry, due to heavy competition. Now, how do I trim down this list, removing some winning demo entries? There were some 4K compos, should I remove the winning demo entries for consideration of the Demo of the Year voting chart?
I'll see to it in four months and hopefully I'll have worked out a reasonable voting chart.
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. |
