Categories Something for everybody
T he Meteoriks will be held for the second time in 2016 - and they're aimed to be a bit different. One important focus is the broad inclusion of both demomakers and -watchers by trying to have a very open process.
As a first step, everyone will be able to propose categories for inclusion in the awards. At the same time, you can apply to become a juror for one or more categories, including the newly proposed categories. At the end of the first phase, all jurors who are accepted decide upon which categories will be included in the awards (approximately 10), and only categories with enough jurors will be accepted. Only two categories are guaranteed to be included: Public Choice and Best New Talent.
