Amiga40 Germany

Hey guys,

we are currently working hard to celebrate a fantastic Amiga40 Germany show on 18th and 19th October.

More information can be found on our website, social media and other Amiga websites.

We are close to a fantastic goal: We are less than 50 tickets away from 1000 visitors on Saturday - for an Amiga-only show in 2025 this sound like an unbelieveable size!

If you didn´t get your ticket yet - there are still a few available at amigaevent.de/ticket and we would be very happy if you join us!

Right now we are collecting nominations for the Amiga40 Community award until 31st July - have a look at the next post.

Amiga40 Community Award

Once again this year we would like to present some trophies at the Amiga40 in Mönchengladbach and thus continue the tradition introduced at Amiga34 - the presentation of the Community Award.

What is the Community Award?
A small award and a thank you to the developer(s), programmer(s), musician(s), dealer(s) or other person(s) / group(s) from the Amiga scene whose developments / merits between about mid-2023 and mid-2025 have particularly impressed and pleased you.

This year we have divided the whole thing into four categories:

1. hardware developments
2. software
3. games
4. other

If there are fewer than 5 nominations in one or more categories by the end of July, we reserve the right to merge categories.

How does the voting work?

Firstly, we will be collecting suggestions from now until the end of July - on a1k, Facebook and various other platforms! The suggestions can be written directly here in the comments or sent to us by e-mail to info@amigaevent.de.

We ask for the following information for suggestions:

- Name + nickname if applicable
- Category
- Reason for nomination / corresponding product

From the beginning of August, the voting will start among all the candidates who have been nominated by then. Everyone can vote for each category. We will then communicate the link to the voting here and allow voting until mid-September. The evaluation will then be completed from 16 September - the current interim results will not be visible, but we will provide minor information and updates from time to time as usual.

When will the award be presented?

The winner of each category will be announced at Amiga40 and will of course be publicised on all the usual Amiga sites afterwards. The award ceremony is planned for Saturday afternoon (18 October 25).

What will the top four winners receive?

On the one hand a trophy, on the other hand a small amount of money (depending on the donations received) for a nice evening with the team or friends or family.

Sponsored by a1k.org - what does that mean?

The a1k forum is the most important and most active forum in the Amiga area. The a1k forum has always intensively supported the previous Amiga events and is always represented on site with numerous members and is once again a great motivator, also for the realisation of the Amiga40. The Community Award is also supported by the forum in the form of monetary donations.

I look forward to many suggestions, active participation and your support!

Thank you very much!

@Marcian

Okay, if we're doing it here (not a bad idea, mind you, it feeds inspiration among us ):

Other:

The SACC AmiWest team for putting on a fabulous show for so many years and making a live feed so you can "go" there even when you can't go there.

(I'd have nominated you and your team as well, but you'd probably declare yourselves ineligible ).

Best regards,

Niels

Thanks, Nbache. The AmiWest team would love a nomation in the other catagory. Why not?

@tekmage

Quote:Sure, and I did mean that as a nomination for you guys.

My parenthetic comment was meant to be about marcian and his Amiga40 team, it would look strange to nominate them for their own award, however deserved it might be .

Best regards,

Niels

@Marcian

Geennaam + Skateman, Mirari Board for hardware.

tekmage and the AmiWest team for other.


Cheers,
