6 years ago How about having the "Rising Stars Awards" as one of the stories?
Could be:
- Project of the year
- Fastest rise (if different)
- Most potential
- Best of JS's pick

5 years ago Thank you Sacha for the good ideas.
It reminds me something I've seen on State of JavaScript 2018!
The animation on the cards marked with the question mark was really nice!
I'd rather mention projects in the conclusion rather than picking in an official way some projects.
Just a crazy idea: since every category is an award by itself, we could make it a game, showing something like "here are the 5 nominees, pick the one you think has won the award and check if your pick was right".
Closing this issue related to the 2017 edition, because we couldn't implement these ideas last year, but it's worth discussing it again.
