Designer Toy Awards 2014

001-unnamed

Clutter has kicked off the 2014 Designer Toy Awards season with the opening of nominations for all applicable categories.  Nominations will be accepted through Tuesday, July 15th.  In a notable change, nominees will not be listed on the DTA site.  Category finalists, determined by the nomination committees, will be listed instead. 

There are several other changes including three new Fan Choice awards for Artist of the Year, Custom of the Year, and Toy of the Year.  A few categories were dropped including Best Collection and Best 1/6th Scale.  Finally, qualifications for a few categories have changed.  In addition to having been active in 2013, Break-through Artist nominees must not have had a solo gallery exhibition before 2013 nor a production toy release financed by a 3rd party.  Customizer of the Year has been changed to Custom of the Year, thus individual customs rather than artists will be nominated.

Head on over to the DTA site to nominate your favorite toys, artists, stores, and blogs (!).
