My suggestion for this would be as follows.
Three stages:
1. "Hey, look at these". People just post lists of demos that have caught their eye since the start of 2006. They can be demos from anywhere, including compet-n, just as long as they were recorded or first released in 2006, and are publically available somewhere. These would not be nominations as such - just on a "these come into consideration" type of level. If you particularly liked something, for some reason, just post. I think this approach is preferable to someone drawing up a huge list of demos for people to plough through, and I doubt that any strong candidates will be overlooked in this process if a number of "regulars" are involved in it. People are also free to draw attention to any of their own demos that they think merit particular attention, though obviously intense lobbying should be avoided.
2. Nominations. Whoever is volunteering to be in charge of this process draws up a list of categories (based partly on the type of things people have been posting about in stage 1). This stipulates how many demos can be nominated in each category. Within that framework, people are free to nominate any demos; they are not restricted to those mentioned in the stage 1 process. I think it would be sufficient for people just to e-mail their lists to whoever is in charge of this.
3. Voting. Pretty obvious... The organizer posts shortlists, and we send them our votes. Everyone voting should have an account here at DW, and it's one set of votes per account, of course.
Would the awards ceremony take place in Prague perhaps? :) At least some of us could be physically present in that case. Any final confirmation of dates for that?
