Hi everyone!
Not sure if this is the right forum, but it's to do with design so here we are.

As a long-term goal for a design project I'm working on I'm creating a large number of awards which will be handed out at the conclusion of the project. The list of awards will be visible throughout the lifecycle, so people will have lots of things to aim for - some more serious than others - and a few others that will be a bit of fun.
I've got a fairly large list so far, but I'd love to hear ideas for more along similar lines.

To give you a few examples:
Most innovative mechanic
Most well-commented code
Best use of audio
Best use of a polar bear
Best GUI
Most addictive
Largest explosion
Most confusing control scheme
Funniest bug
Best use of physics
Best multiplayer feature
Most obvious 'tribute'
... ?

Anything you can suggest along similar lines would be very helpful indeed. Obviously I don't want a list full of ridiculous 'achievements', though, so more practical suggestions are also welcome.

i've actually been working on the same thing: contests for indie games with a lot of different categories and very small prizes (like $5). best villain, best monster design, that kind of stuff. so i guess i have competition!

Most Unique Production of Audio

By this I mean stuff like when the creators of Dark Sector recorded themselves crushing vegetables in various ways in order to get the sound of heads and bones cracking.
