adam hegyi awarded the best compet-n demos every year. bringing it back would probably feel awkward, because we don't have a single overlording authority of his caliber and there aren't many demos recorded on c-n wads anyways.
Actually, the Golden Cybers were decided by a democratic vote. There was a shortlist (with about 5 demos nominated per category), and the winners were chosen in a free vote. There were measures in place to check that people didn't vote more than once, but that was all.
The shortlists of nominees were drawn up democratically too, but generally there were fewer people involved in that stage.

Reviving the Golden Cybers is an interesting idea. I'd suggest a different name, and that a number of people (all active recorders) should be involved in privately drawing up the rules and procedures (this shouldn't be rushed, as it isn't a simple matter). And this should of course be discussed in a separate thread.
Where we do miss out nowadays is that the new compet-n demos are, strictly speaking, only compet-n entries. With compet-n currently a headless chicken, they are neither officially accepted nor rejected.
