THE METEORIKS 2020 CATEGORIESOur jury has deliberated long and hard, and we have settled on a set of ten award categories. This year, we are going to nominate and award productions in the categories of:
*
New Talent - The group or individual scener that made their most memorable entrance in 2019

Best Visuals - The production with the most beautiful and impressive art style, graphics, effects, modeling, texturing, color scheme, ...
*
Best Direction - The production with the best overall cohesion, camerawork, atmosphere, pacing, story, ...
*
Outstanding Concept - The production that most impressed us with bold decisions, novel ideas, extending the scene's aesthetic vocabulary
*
Best Soundtrack - The production with the best soundtrack
*
Outstanding Technical Achievement - The production that most dropped our jaws as it was previously deemed impossible
*
Best Low-End Production - The overall best production on a low-end platform

https://2020.meteoriks.org/categoriesOver the course of the next weeks, our jurors will wade through last year's productions and choose up to five nominees for each category. And you can help them by making sure your personal favorites are not overlooked! Unlike in previous years, you can now
suggest productions directly via Pouët! Until midnight on
Sunday, March 9, you can suggest any production of 2019 to our juries directly from a prod page. Go right ahead and help us out :)
Another call for jurors!Speaking of helping out - over the past two weeks, a lot of people applied to be jurors, and we're very happy with the participation already! <3
That said, we want
MOAR. More jurors mean more opinions, more participation and ultimately better results! We'd like to have a jury of at least 30 people (ten juries of three persons each), and we're not there yet, so keep the applications coming!
There are no special requirements to becoming a juror - you don't need to be a scene superstar with a buttload of releases under your belt. All we need from you is an opinion, a couple evenings' worth of time and the will to make a decision together with your fellow jurors.
Just so you know what you're getting yourselves into, these are your duties as jurors:
* Review last year's productions in any way you see fit for your category
* Identify up to five nominees
* Choose a winner
* One member out of each jury should represent their category on stage during the awards show
If you're interested, drop everything you're doing and join us at
