Categories Something for everybody
The Meteoriks will be held for the fifth time in 2019 - and again, one important focus is the broad inclusion of both demomakers and -watchers by trying to have a very open process.
As a first step, we worked hard with a group of seasoned sceners of all trades to select a meaningful set of awards categories from your input of previous years, making sure that 2018's productions are well represented and our categories span a wide range of demo'ish and artistic aspects. These categories are listed below.
Starting now, everyone can apply to become a juror for one or more categories. At the end of the first phase, out of all jurors who are accepted, we will form juries of at least three jurors for each category, and these juries will go to work finding the best work of 2018.
