Looking forward to the polls and the results.
A couple of suggestions.
1. Split the Desktop Distribution of the Year into 2
a) if you have 1GB RAM or more
b) less than 1 GB RAM
2. New category: Best live distro (actually running live)
3. Remove the desktop environment window managers from the Window Manager of the Year
ie do not include Compiz KWin Marco Muffin Mutter since they are not stand alone wms or nobody actually uses them as such unlike all the other in the poll.
Distribution: Debian, Red Hat, Slackware, Fedora, Ubuntu

There was a separate thread for category suggestions. This is the finalized list for 2015.

I'd be interested in additional feedback on this topic.
In the Distribution of the year category, you have Crunchbang listed. However, Philip Newborough announced on 6 February 2015 that he had stopped developing CrunchBang. In the wake of that announcement, several members of the Crunchbang community got together and started bunsenlabs as a continuation of the project.
On that note I suggest that the Crunchbang nomination should be changed to bunsenlabs instead.
