'Tis the season, the season to watch ALL the demos once! And then present our favourite selection to and celebrate it together with you!

Our jurors are already browsing through the preselection, and we would love you to join them!

So: Do you love demos? Do you love celebrating them yet a little more? Have you ever commented on the nominations after the fact to let the world know who should have been nominated?

All very good reasons for finally becoming a juror!

Here is what your next couple of months would entail, if we get the honour of having you:

• Help deciding on categories with your fellow jurors
  
• Review a share of last year's productions
  
• Identify up to five nominees in a specific category
  
• Choose a laureate
  
• Represent your category live during the award show
  

All in all, this will take between four and eight evenings' worth of time, mostly spread across January and February.

Visit our website to learn more and sign up for jury "duty" until January 1st, we would love to have you!
