You best protect ya neck
I don't have desire to be involved with this, but if you guys don't put aside all the sexy bits like categories and judges, and address structural issues first, you aren't going to get anywhere.

If the award is going to have any sort of longevity, you will need a supporting apparatus. I would recommend setting it up like a nonprofit, and that means worrying about all sorts of boring things like:

  • Annual Meeting(s)
  • Election of Directors and Officers
  • Quorum for Meetings
  • The objects or purposes of the award

Here's what you should do. Come up with a list of people who are interested in being on a steering committee to sort through all of these logistical issues. Deal with them in a public fashion, and then present the 'charter' of the award to the forum while holding an election of people to run the first year of the award.
