I like sharing and ice cream and animals.
When will the awards run and what will the cutoff dates for games' releases be?

This is something seriously to consider because unlike the Oscars where you can have awards for movies that haven't even gone into wide release yet, for a fan-voted thing like this you'll want to have a significant amount of time between the cutoff and the voting, both to give word of mouth time to work and to give hype time to die down.

Like, if you were to give out awards for games released in 2015 and vote on them now, that'd be reasonable - no game released in 2015 really has an advantage or disadvantage over the others by this point. If you were to have done the voting in January of this year, games released in December would be in a weird position where people would only be able to vote based on marketing and not based on having played them yet, depending on how long shipping takes, and etc.
