The winners of Pwnie Awards 2010 were announced tonight at a ceremony in Las Vegas. The full list of nominees is available as well.

The nominees for the Pwnie Awards 2010 are finally selected. We received more quality nominations then ever and it was really hard to decide on the top five nominees for many categories. You'll notice that we've dropped some categories like Most Overhyped Bug and Lifetime Achievement award because we did not get enough submissions for them. We hope to bring them back next year.

Next week the judges will gather at an undisclosed location in Las Vegas and vote on the winners, which will be announced during the awards ceremony on July 28th in Caeser's Palace.

It is time to open the nominations for the Pwnie Awards 2010. We invite all members of the security community to look back at the past year and nominate all great bugs, lame vendors, amazing research and of course, songs. The full list of award categories and the submission form can be found at the nominations page.

We will accept nominations until July 15^th, after which the top five nominees in each category will be announced on the website. The winners will be determined by a vote of the Pwnie Award judges shortly before the award ceremony.

The Pwnie Awards ceremony will take place again during the BlackHat USA reception on July 28, 2010. The Pwnie Award organizers thank BlackHat for their generous sponsorship.
