Presented in recognition of an artist who gained significant industry-wide notice last year. While they could be relatively new to the scene or a professional who struggled for years, their dedication to Designer Toys and making a place for themselves within the community is honored with this award. Not only should they have had a variety of outstanding releases last year, but also an increased fan base and overall visibility.
The DTA's cost upwards of $20,000 per year and that's not counting staff salaries! So please donate even a couple of dollars and help us continue to make the ceremony bigger and better!
