Normally the steam awards winners are real stinkers, but the voters had shockingly good taste this year.

    Nomination is less prominently advertised in Steam compared to the voting itself, but you can nominate any game for an award via its store page. If I hear of it before it is over, it’s usually because the devs of some game I’m playing are asking for nominations, I don’t remember it being advertised on the store frontpage.

      I got a prompt when I started steam, in the same popup window carousel they use for advertising. You probably did too but are conditioned to ignore and close it.

        Probably yes. But the final voting is advertised on the store front page and usually during the winter sale, sometimes with things like getting cards or such stuff for voting, in addition to the pop-up. At least for me it seems more prominent in the interface than the nominations

            I know, my point is just that less people notice that they can also nominate than that they can vote on the finalists, because the latter is promoted more.
