DTAs 2012

it's back >> with a few surprises up it's sleeves apparently ! Luc & i are very chuffed to be asked back onto the DTA board... it sez : " The Board is a select group of Designer Toy professionals - artists, producers, commentators and others - who bring a special expertise and perspective to choosing the winners " not sure where we fit in there but, hey thank-you Designer Toy Awards.

so what's the lowdown >> Call for Entries is now open over at www.designertoyawards.com You may be wondereing why we are calling it the " Call for Entries " this year, so let me explain whats new :

This year we have made a few changes to the process. Firstly we removed two categories, " Most Influential Event " and " Best Functional Toy ", from the line up to make the awards more concise. Secondly we have put together groups of nominating committees. These committees will be in charge of digesting the entries and discerning there qualification in the awards. The committees will reduce the entries to five nominees in each category for Board-voted awards and ten nominees in each category for Community Choice voted awards. Nominations will be announced on the Designer Toy Awards Nominating Party, which will take place in San Diego during SDCC week. Be there to hear who the nominees are !! We'll announce them live before we post to the site. We'll turn community and board voting on shortly after SDCC.

The other big news it that this year's award ceremony will be taking place in NYC during NYCC in October, WOOT WOOT !! We hope as many of you as possible can be there, and we are looking forward to sharing more information with you as the year unfolds

so yeah, get nominating... and if you vote for Triclops in any category ( wink, wink ) BIG thanks in advance !
