The second Annual Canuck Awards for Electronic and Animated Arts coming this November |
Ó
While "Canuck" sounds like a cross between a cough and a hiccup (now don't hurt yourself trying to reproduce it), the second Annual Canuck Awards is more affectionately known as the Elan Awards. This new awards event held in Canada annually will honor the best artistic productions in electronics: anything and everything in games.
While being just another awards ceremony to add to the countless ones coming out each year, the Elans is slated to honor any and all platform titles, including casual, arcade and mobile games. It will also honor story and concept writing in games, a dedicated Hall of Fame for games that make the cut, and even animation and voice-over productions. Everything art, they've got just the fart part (pardon our French).
The awards categories will each have their own panel of five judges (no judge sits on more than one panel) to decide on the criteria for choosing the winner among qualifying nominees. Judges only qualify in the panel if they are respected minds in the industry. Other strict procedures are as follows:
- All Companies/Institutions providing Jurors may provide more than one.
- No two representatives from one Company/Institution will be selected to sit on the same Panel.
- Every Juror must sign a non-conflict contract to be approved by the CAEAA.
- Each CAEAA Category is judged by Panels from outside of Canada.
- Each International Category is judged by Panels from within Canada.
- All Nomination and Winning Ballots will be handled directly by the Elans Auditing Firm, Buckley Dodds.
