The 2016 Yearly CW Project Award begins. UPDATE: Reuben Quest 3 won!

Now that each winner for the 2016 Monthly CW Project Awards have been declared, the final round of voting begins, which will determine the winner of the 2016 Yearly CW Project Award. Those awards were introduced in June, so there are 7 projects for this poll:

June: (84+CE) ICE Compiler v1.1
July: (fx-CG10/20) Internet on Casio PRIZM
August: (84+CE) CEmu
September: (84+CE) C SDK and Libraries
October: (83+/84+) Reuben Quest 3
November: (84+CE) gLib 3D Library
December: (84+CE) Oiram CE

The author of the winning project will win a digital gift card prize for a store that offers such thing. If during prize delivery the Canadian dollar is worth $0.67 US dollar or higher, the prize will be $50 USD, otherwise it will be $75 USD. This is a skills contest, not a lottery contest, as all those projects required a tremendous amount of work in order to be achieved. You have until January 16th 2017 to vote!

everybody knows oiram ce is going to win, why even bother lol
just give him the 75$ already

unless of course you got a trump situation on our hand and then it turns out ICE won this poll.
It's not the first time ICE sneaked inside of a poll...

Considering the different nature of each project in the list, the outcome of this poll is still uncertain, much like some of the past Ticalc.org POTYs

As for ICE yeah I remember when it was re-added by accident once last September or so. Thankfully it did not win a second time, but we had to extend the voting by a few days to allow people to change their vote

. It didn't help that the September poll had like 33 entries

You gotta admit that Oiram CE was only possible because of the C SDK! Oh wait, @MateoConLechuga made that as well? Nevermind...

This reminds me when I had three entries in one single POTY (2005) out of seven

. In my case, all of them were games lol.

but somehow ICE, which won the June award, was included again by mistake. So now we're gonna have to remove it but since it was winning again

Good job on all the winners, and may the best program/game win

But yeah, quite tough competition, so many awesome projects ^.^

Congratulations to all the runner-ups of this competition, and future-congrats to the winner!

All those projects stand out on their own, so giving a fair vote is hard :E

Yeah, the thing is that for many of the polls, you had multiple games, multiple utilities and misc programs, then now you got 1 game per platform, 1 language, 1 emulator, 1 SDK + libraries and 1 engine. While some of those contributed less to the other projects, they are still extremely impressive. This is IMHO the most challenging CW project award poll to vote for.

It kinda reminds me the 2010-11 ticalc POTY surveys or so, where I almost voted for Doors CS 7 due to its versatility compared to other established shells (ZStart did not exist at the time), but we had waited a decade for a new alternative to TI-BASIC that is not in pre-alpha stage and finally got one, so I was torn apart between Axe and DCS7 and kinda had to settle for Axe.
