About now II

I know updates have been slow this year. I know now this site will not be able to keep up to date with all the new awarded games.

I hope I can keep updating every once in a while and won't forget any new awards. My main goal is a list of as many boardgame awards as I can find. Second: to keep it updated.

A lot of awards are not as clear as I thought. Or have websites in laguages I don't understand. I will try to keep everything as correct and complete as possible.

Diana Jones Award

Diana Jones Award - since 2001 - United States

From the website:

The Diana Jones Award is an annual award created to publicly acknowledge excellence in gaming. The award was first made for the year 2000, and the first award ceremony was on August 4, 2001. The Diana Jones Award is decided on merit, not popularity or commercial success. You may never have heard of some of the nominees, but you can be certain that they are all outstanding in their fields. What is more, because the winner is chosen by a closed, anonymous committee, it is impossible for a manufacturer or publisher to stuff the ballot or interfere with the voting.
