DEF CON is taking nominations for the following categories of awards. 
Voting for the actual nominated names will not be conducted here, on 
Survey Monkey. Instead, we'll have active voting, on-site, during the 
Recognize Awards ceremony. Audience participation is encouraged. In the 
meantime, we invite you to submit your nominations for each award category 
defined in this survey.

Rules for Nomination:

1) Nominations must be legitimate nominations. That's to say, they must 
not simply be a joke intended to get people to think you're funny because 
you lack the necessary social skills to have friend in real life.

2) You must supply appropriate rationale for your nomination. Tell us WHY 
you think this person/story/thing deserves to be "Recognized" by DEF CON. 
Nominations without this information will NOT be considered.

3) These are nominations only. Voting will be conducted during the 
conference. So if you're really intent on your nomination winning the 
award, you should attend the Recognize Award Ceremony.

4) Nominations must be submitted no later than midnight, Las Vegas time, 
on July 10th, 2012, to be considered for inclusion. Late entries will not 
be considered.

5) You do not have to provide a nomination for every category.

Nominations will be reviewed by the DEF CON Awards Committee, with the 
most relevant being presented for voting during the conference. The better 
your case for your nominee, the more information we'll have to make an 
informed decision. Be sure to include links to stories, news, or other 
items that help justify your nomination!
