I still find it interesting to hear who paid for them and for which product

Yeah, but then we have all the people who doesn't know what they're looking at.
You need a "meh, don't care" option.
It's a 'design' award, which basically doesn't actually mean the design is good for use in any way.
E.g. you could submit a design for a car with no doors and it could win the award but ultimately being useless outside of the 'dukes of hazzard' fan base.
Also, most importantly, as a submitter, you are essentially paying for the award, kind of like 'product of the year' and other such things.
Some people may care about it, some may not.
I've never based a decision on anything they've ever shown and I'm pretty sure some things they've given awards to have not even made the product commercially successful.
A TPU product award even after a late Friday night half-assed review would carry more weight.

Poll updated
That's what made me post, but I didn't personally want to inform people, I wanted their opinion as is.
