I like the idea of public nomination open to all members (maybe 6 months old+)
nominees could then complete a template of the cab, something like
side profile shot
front profile shot
3/4 view
control panel
and 3 user shots, highlighting best features - art, wiring, automation etc
and optional video
this would be a nice showcase of the work presented in a uniformed style
once all nominated templates are complete, public voting to decide the winner

So idea - feel free to like on it or hate on it:
If at all possible, it'd be cool to have a separate forum (that's something up to Saint, of course), with a stickied topic explaining the criteria. Individual threads would be cab/project nominations (and for which category/ies it would be nominated for). Members could then post a synopsis, weighing it's strengths and maybe pointing out some weaknesses and then assign a score value*. Commenting on or arguing with other people's synopsis/review would be strictly verboten. After a year or so, we gather those nominees, and announce winners in a special thread or other section. Maybe a special token or something for their profile could be awarded. This way, everyone's involved and it's easy to find.
(* I actually kind of dug Howard's scoring system; I gave my own cab an 8 due to unfortunate painting issues. But whatever would work.)
Generic Eric:
How about a submission/verification process. Here is what I am thinking.
By submitting a project to a special sub-forum, the Builder agrees to a specific level of criticism. The project announcements thread should exist the way it is.
The submitter must declare type of project (Upright, cocktail, Cockpit, etc)
A baseline criteria for each type of project is predefined. Such as the "Project Arcade cabinet." For example, to eliminate "gotcha's" specify that you can't have a 27" wide cabinet with a 15" monitor.
Let's not have a rust bucket with mis-matched VIN @ the Barrett Jackson auction.
Vigo:
The only way I would be down with an official best of is if it was open to any members voting anonymously. I think a judging panel or an elite circle of experts would ruin it for me. At the same time, I don't want people with low post counts to feel like their opinion isn't as valuable.
As far as categories go, my only category nomination is best "new feature" I think there are original brilliant idea's out there that inevitably get copied and improved upon. Which is great! We should build off each other's ideas. 8) I just think it is appropriate to have a category to give recognition to the person who started and inspired that great idea. Even though other people came along and put it into sexier machines.
I also like Dave's profile token idea for award winning cabs. :applaud:

Sounds cool to me, but what do you do about all the really cool multi-year projects running around? :)
Or did I miss that in the thread?
