The Meteoriks are back!

Just like in the previous years, the Meteoriks awards set out to honor the best productions of the year 2018, and again we're striving for a very open process by asking everyone to apply to become part of our juries!

Like last year, we're going to hit the ground running with a full set of categories. In fact, last year's categories worked so well that after a brief consideration we opted to go with the same categories as last year. Hooray for stability!

THE METEORIKS 2019 CATEGORIES

• New Talent - The group or individual scener that made their most memorable entrance in 2018
  
• Best Soundtrack - The production with the best soundtrack
  
• Best Visuals - The production with the most beautiful and impressive art style, graphics, effects, modeling, texturing, color scheme, ...
  
• Best Direction - The production with the best overall cohesion, camerawork, atmosphere, pacing, story, ...
  
• Outstanding Technical Achievement - The production that most dropped our jaws as it was previously deemed impossible
  
• Best Low-End Production - The overall best production on a low-end platform
  
• Best Small High-End Intro - The overall best production in 8k or less
  
• Best High-End 64k Intro - The overall best production in 64k or less
  
• Best High-End Demo - The overall best production between 64k and INFINITY!
  

And as always, we can't do this alone - we need your help!

JURY DUTY

"We" - right now that is just the Meteoriks organizing team. We cannot and should not decide on the award nominees and, ultimately, the laureates of the Meteoriks Awards for 2019, and that's why we need you to sign up to be part of the jury! You know you want to!

Just so you know what you're getting yourselves into, these are your duties as jurors:

• Review last year's productions in any way you see fit for your category
  
• Identify up to five nominees
  
• Choose a winner
  
• One member out of each jury should represent their category on stage during the awards show
  

Still interested? Great, go here: https://www.meteoriks.org/taking_part/juror - and do it before Sunday, February 10th as that's our deadline for juror applications!

PROD SUGGESTIONS

Our jurors will have to wade through a truckload of prods to find worthy nominees, so they can use all the help they can get in finding the true gems in 2018's productions. You can all help them by submitting the prods you think are super worthy of receiving a Meteorik at https://www.meteoriks.org/taking_part/recommend


And so it starts! Head on to https://www.meteoriks.org/ and start participating!

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

[ Demoparty.net ] Demonights 008, march, 9th, CH

date: march, 9th
country: CH

»It's 2019 and we keep on going with the Demonights series. The next date that you better do not miss if you're anywhere close enough is the 9th of March 2019 when Demonights 008 take place. This time we bring you a truly oldschool story, told by two scene legends from Berne. We proudly introduce you to Amicom and Depeche - and here's what we will hear from them:

Your System is Infected
In the late 80s, the Amiga demoscene flourished. Even here in Bern and its suburbs talented boys (and unfortunately no girls) were coding, cracking, reserve engineering if there was no tomorrow.

This was the time of our youth and 30 years later we have a confession to make. We have created the first file based virus on the Amiga. For the first time ever we will unveil the complete story of this virus.

Alongside with this yet untold adventurous story, we'll entertain you with the latest demoware from back then, from today and from in between. Come join us on this journey to a thing that started more than 30 years ago.

As usual, we'll see each other in the awesome Effinger E-0010 location:
