Categories Something for everybody
The Meteoriks will be held for the seventh time in 2021 - and again, one important focus is the broad inclusion of both demomakers and -watchers by trying to have a very open process.
Starting now, everyone can apply to become a juror for the Meteoriks. During a first phase all accepted jurors will discuss the categories in which we will hand out awards this year. At the end of the first phase, we will form juries of at least three jurors for each category, and these juries will go to work finding the best work of 2020.
Meteoriks 2021 categories
2020 certainly was a difficult year for everyone and very different from previous years - and our category picks this year reflect that.
Compared to last year, we have merged the Best High-End 64k Intro and Best Small High-End Intro categories into one combined Best High-End Intro category to account for the relatively smaller number of productions in 2020. We dropped the "Outstanding Concept" category in favor of two new categories that should ring very true with what happened in 2020 - Best Executable Graphics and Scene Spirit Award.
