Coming soon...

More details to follow in the next couple of days.

Like last year, members can vote in a number of categories in three rounds of one week each, and win prizes provided by our sponsors. New this year will be a very special, real award for the winners of member categories (those categories where a deskthority member can win, such as "best wiki contributor"): a custom commissioned clickclack keycap. This is a unique design by clickclack especially made for the Awards, category winners will be the only people ever getting these keycaps.

This topic can be used for comments, ideas and suggestions before the event starts. If you have any ideas how to improve over the last edition, let us know!

These are the categories I have in mind for this year:

Best relic/discovery 2012
Best input device mod 2012
Best keycaps 2012
Best ergonomic input device 2012
Best other input device 2012
Best keyboard company or brand 2012
Best regular keyboard 2012
Best space-saving/compact keyboard 2012
Best keyboard switch 2012
The *Ping* Award 2012
Best deskthority forum contributor 2012
Best deskthority wiki contributor 2012
The Deskthority Award 2012

New are Best deskthority forum contributor and Best deskthority wiki contributor. Like last year, the *Ping* Award is the "Worst of" award, and the Deskthority Award is the meta category, the best of the best regardless of category.

Make it so the *ping* award can go to multiple winners.

Geekhack deserves one (actually, Geekhack deserves like three), Thermaltake deserves one for the Knucker, and Unicomp deserves one for the "tease new product, actually release a shipping coupon" stunt they just pulled.

You have to motivate it and it needs to be relevant for the category.

Oh, and you can't nominate yourself. :twisted:
