Best streamed game or highlight? Chuckwurt's TABA on Hobbit or Keith Elwin's masterful scissor flipper play on Harlem Globetrotters to win Pinburgh this year, for example.

Thought of a few more.

Best Debut - (new artist, designer, podcaster, tourney player, manufacturer or Event... keep it broad to allow for enough nominees)

Best Video/Stream/Podcast "Episode" - separate video vs audio category?
Best Interview
Best Pinball Event (meaning expos/fests/conventions/tournaments, not "when <manuafacturer> announced <game>" )
Favorite Trend - (what is happening more often in pinball in 2018 that is good)
Worst Trend

And to answer the question regarding the hall of fame: Sure, just make it like other Halls of Fame and require the pin to have been out for at least 5-10 years before it can be a nominee (I'd lean towards longer rather than shorter.)

I would like to see a "Pinball Ambassador" award given to someone who was just a really good person in the pinball community for the year. They could be recognized for helping new people come into the hobby, for charitable efforts, or for whatever they might have done to just make the hobby better.

Quoted from LTG:

As much as I think that a good idea I also think too few of us get to the shows even fewer get to multiple shows to see the seminars
