Yes, because the nominations come from the industry, not from XBIZ -- and folks can and do vote for themselves. But to get on what is really the finalists list requires that many other folks nominate you too.

When folks see someone listed and shake their head wondering why such and such a company made it, the reason is simple: your peers thought they deserved to, even if you didn't -- it really is a popularity contest -- and if a company doesn't receive enough nominations to become a finalist, they need to look at themselves, not criticize what is a very fair process that is participated in by industry professionals (nominations were only accepted from XBIZ.net members this year -- you need to be a verified industry peep to join, not just a surfer or some designer's facebook buddies)
