I have had Pirates Glory nomimated (
http://browsergameoftheyear.com/nominees ) but no prize.
However this particular contest is organized by a german company (GforGaming who also owns galaxy-news) and seems to promote the german games against others. I may be wrong as this is only an observation.
If you see this year contest as well as all the rest, all winners are German games. There may be a couple of non-german as I have not checked them all but all the ones I did, they were german.
Besides, no one knows who the juries are. It is just another site that decides to give yearly awards and I do not see why this should be of any important notice.
