How it works
Choose the categories.
Three to five is enough. Each category is an activity in Jury.
Collect the nominations.
Every guest nominates one thing per category. Let everyone add rounds, so the nominations go straight in.
Make the case.
Whoever nominated gets thirty seconds to explain why it should win.
Rate in secret.
Everyone rates every nomination. Nobody can see anyone else's ratings until you reveal.
Reveal before midnight.
Reveal category by category. The year's winner gets to make the first toast.
Categories for the year's awards
- Moment of the year: the one you still laugh about.
- Meal of the year: the best thing you ate, out or at home.
- Trip of the year: from the big holiday to a good Sunday walk.
- Film or series of the year: the one everyone should watch.
- Song of the year: play a short clip of each before you rate.
- Mistake of the year: the one that luckily turned out fine.
- Best decision of the year: big or small.
Make it a tradition
The awards get better every year, because you can look back. Create a new activity each year in the same group, and you'll build up a small record of your years together.
