here's my understanding of the procss
Anyone can nominate any site they wish. You can nominate your own. Todd
monitors the mail each week and makes a judgement call about which
nomination suggestions actually become nominations (that is, get listed
as a nominated site) Being nominated builds traffic quite a bit.
Once you're nominated, Todd again monitors the mail each week to see how
many votes come in for you. There is no mechanical voting process, Todd
basically calls it as he sees fit, and some week, you are the site...
Sites can stay "nominated" without winning for an arbitrarily long
period and may eventually be removed, again on Todd's judgement call, if
they didn't get chosen by him.
Sounds like a whim driven process. But it works surprisingly well. I am
amazed every time that I go back and look at past picks. Not every site
is one that I think is really really cool, but most of them are, and i
suspect that the majority of people think a given site is deserving,
even if not everyone does. So I think the process is working great and I
would hate to see it change. Todd's judgement is excellent.
We truly have had some amazing sites. Once GMLTC has their act together
and gets all the pictures posted there that are out there in one place
or another I expect that one to "win" handily.

It's probably not useful to go down that reasoning chain. Coolness is
determined by a lot of things. You needn't worry about needing to be
better at building, that's not what this hobby is about. (1)
1 - I can say that because I know I'm the best at building the things I
choose to specialize in, no need for votes or awards to confirm it. :-)
