    This hobby needs an annual award program to recognize the people and the work of pinball culture, voted on by the community. These awards will set the standard and help elevate the voice of the community (into one) in recognizing the exceptional achievments of the recipients and their commitment to pinball.

    The Award categories are:

    Best Pinball Machine
    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinheads-choice-2016-best-pinball-machine-vote
    Best Pinball Design
    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinheads-choice-2016-best-design-vote#post-3515038
    Best Software/Rules
    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinheads-choice-2016-best-softwarerules-vote#post-3515115
    Best Sound

    Best Artwork

    Best Product Quality & Customer Satisfaction
    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinheads-choice-2016-best-product-quality-cs-vote#post-3515776
    Best Pinball Company
    https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinheads-choice-2016-best-pinball-company-vote#post-3515962

    Best Aftermarket Mod
    Best Pinball Parts Supplier
    Best Pinball Distributor

    I will set up a new thread per each category to list nominees and a voters poll for complete transparency in results.

    What could help:

    1. Anyone interested in designing a logo for the Pinhead Choice Awards? It helps create an identity and allows the award winners a logo to display on their site supporting the achievement recognized by the industry. *This would be a donation. I'm not funding the awards or attempting to make money, just trying to make this fun and bring a solid "one voice" to the community.*

    2. Pinball Magazine - would be great to see you guys support and run award winners in an article to add credibility to community voice.

    The community should determine who can claim to be the "leading ....(i.e. pinball company)" not company marketing organizations. Just like JD Powers awards for quality and the Academy Awards for achievements - people take notice of who won awards. It's time we recognize the hard work and achievements in pinball and set the bar for recognition - objectively.

    Please nominate the best aftermarket mod. There are so many I need to cut down list to top 5

    Don't forget to vote.

    Quoted from solarvalue:

    How about this for a logo?

    Thanks solarvalue!

    Quoted from zerbam:

    you left out the catagory for most helpful pinsider...........

    Good thought. I was trying to keep the focus of this years awards more on achievements. Then expand next year to some additional categories.

    Quoted from flashinstinct:

    I like this initiative. Be nice if pinball news and pinball mag would chip in

    Thanks. I totally agree. I'd like to see the community rally around the idea. One voice = people start paying attention.

    Quoted from solarvalue:

    I changed it a little so the flipper and ball in the circle looked more like a checkbox. Use whichever you like.

    I like the change. Thanks again!

    Quoted from flashinstinct:

    Id totally do a logo for this but my motherboard fried and im not at work until tuesday. I see it more like a plunger with a silver ball the spring being the body and the ball being the head.

    Go for it. Voting will be open for a week. Nice to have options.

    Nice! I like the ability to transition it to a physical award.

    Pending voting participation, I'm considering sending a letter and trophy to the winners. Really want this to become an annual industry staple.

    #16 7 years ago
    Quoted from DeadFlip:

    I'd like to nominate myself as the best aftermarket mod.

    Sadly, you don't light up. I take that back - insert beer here. You qualify!!

    In sincerity, I can see a Best Pinball Podcast category in the future. There's a few podcasts now - seems only right to acknowledge the hard work there too.

    Sorry all, got pretty sick with flue then back to back colds. I've been sick since December!! Finally healed!

    Monday at midnight the votes will be tallied and winners announced! Last chance to vote and have your voice heard. Some are awards are very close.

    After-market mods will be the only category with an extension. I dropped the ball on that one, waiting for nominee selections. More to come on that one.
