Darkade was complete build wise on 28 DEC 2011. The video wasn't done until Feb as I was waiting to get the in-game TRON 4way to 8way switch working which was a side project that didn't even start until Jan. If that utility got nominated it would actually be for Nitz and it would have to be a 2012 nom as I did zero original work on it but merely copied and pasted. Concur that VanillaG's is indeed immaculately badass.

Let me know if anything is outside of the date range and I'll take a look and remove if necessary. I haven't had a chance to scrub through for dates yet. I've been giving some liberty on the forum contribution nominations as recognizing users who help the community is always a good practice, even if they didn't put out anything this last year.
Great stuff everybody! Keep it coming!

How do you mean liberty, if they had put something out - wouldnt this 'thing' be nominated - such as a cab, hardware contribution or software contribution?
I thought the Forum Contribution was for active helpful forum members during 2011, i.e. people and not for 'things' :dizzy:

It is, forum contributions are in now way tied to producing anything but for example if somebody says I nominated So-n-So for all his wrappers I wouldn't go check that all those wrappers were from 2011, if somebody was helped by So-n-So in 2011 and wants to nominate that's good enough for me. Sorry if I said something unclear that likely didn't need to be said anyways.

This is true. There is enough original artwork created in a year that it could be a category, no problem.

Let's see some nominees and we'll let the users decide. Just use the same format but, ya know, put Art in front of it.
I was talked out of it as an independant category based on the reasoning that most art is produced for a specific cab. That art should then eventually show up on a cab that can be voted on its total merits. Case in point, Pixelhugger's Marquee art is gorgeous and is part of the many reasons he was the first confirmed nom for fullsize cab, ditto Woodshopflunky's AM Ace. Hardware mods are more global as are software mods and thus they justify their own category. If there is an artist consistently producing amazing art for the community (like Opt2Not) then nominate him for a forum contribution award.
Nominating art that is eventually goint to end up on a cab but hasn't yet is kinda putting the cart infront of the horse.
