2020 NoPro Audience Choice Awards Nominees & Ballot

Voting closes on 12/16/20 at 10AM PST

On Dec. 18th NoPro will be announcing our inaugural NoPro Awards, recognizing what the staff and editors of the site see as the best immersive/interactive work that has been nationally/internationally accessible this year.

To go along with those awards, we initiated an Audience Choice companion for each of the major categories we will be considering. The nomination process for the Audience Choice closed on Dec. 9th, and now voting begins.

Voting was open through Dec. 16th, 2020 at 10AM PST. Voting is now closed.

• You will be able to vote for one (1) nominee in each category.
• Sorry, no write-ins.
• We are using a third-party email verification service to prevent duplicate ballots.
• Emails collected for verification will not be used for any other purpose, and the terms of service of the third-party verifier specifies that the records are kept confidential and then purged. (That’s what we are paying them for, after all.)
• The ballot is linked below the nominees on this post.

Nominees were determined via a write-in process. The top 3–6 candidates were determined in each category based on volume of nominations.
