Manufacturers and publishers may suggest which category, other than the Special Achievement Award, in which to enter their products, however the Expo judges will make the final decision. Only ONE category per product is permissible.
The awards are only for products from games companies who are exhibiting at EXPO and they are not open to others.

In the miniatures category a representative range of the figures must be sent. All samples, prototypes and products submitted will not be returned. These are passed to appropriate judges who will rate them. On the weekend the samples are made available to the public who have the opportunity to vote using voting forms handed out at the convention.
