DEF CON's "Recognize Awards" - 2012 - Public Nominations

[InfoSec News <alerts () infosecnews org>]

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DC20awards

DEF CON is taking nominations for the following categories of awards. 
Voting for the actual nominated names will not be conducted here, on 
Survey Monkey. Instead, we'll have active voting, on-site, during the 
Recognize Awards ceremony. Audience participation is encouraged. In the 
meantime, we invite you to submit your nominations for each award 
category defined in this survey.

Rules for Nomination:

1) Nominations must be legitimate nominations. That's to say, they must 
not simply be a joke intended to get people to think you're funny 
because you lack the necessary social skills to have friend in real 
life.

2) You must supply appropriate rationale for your nomination. Tell us 
WHY you think this person/story/thing deserves to be "Recognized" by DEF 
CON. Nominations without this information will NOT be considered.

3) These are nominations only. Voting will be conducted during the 
conference. So if you're really intent on your nomination winning the 
award, you should attend the Recognize Award Ceremony.

4) Nominations must be submitted no later than midnight, Las Vegas time, 
on July 10th, 2012, to be considered for inclusion. Late entries will 
not be considered.

5) You do not have to provide a nomination for every category.

Nominations will be reviewed by the DEF CON Awards Committee, with the 
most relevant being presented for voting during the conference. The 
better your case for your nominee, the more information we'll have to 
make an informed decision. Be sure to include links to stories, news, or 
other items that help justify your nomination!
