Journalists Award
The eSports Journalist Award was initially a category of the eSports Awards, but in 2009 became the main focus of the award-giving ceremony. The eSports Journalist Award was bestowed to journalists, members of the press, editors and press volunteers who write unique, different and detailed articles about eSports and its subtopics.
According to the official website of the eSports Journalist Award, writers for the eSports scene were not eligible for the award since their content is generally directed to the community of gamers while journalists write for the general public, raising awareness and delivering information unto people who aren't as knowleadgeable as eSports community members.

The Kalø Vintage Car Rally is a weekly gathering of vintage car enthusiasts at Kalø Castle Ruin, in Denmark. Every non-winter Tuesday since 2002, up to 600 vintage cars travel to Kalø, according to founder Bent Ammitsbøl. The Rally is free for owners and participants. Events are self-regulated, with no staff or officials. The rallies are held on a grassy slope bordering the sea at the Bight of Aarhus overlooking Kalø Castle Ruin from the town of Rønde and from Denmark's second largest town, Aarhus. The primary focus is on vintage cars, but old motorcycles and mopeds also participate as do other styles of cars.
History
The rallies started in 2002 at the parking lot by the Kalø Ice Kiosk in 2002, followed by an evening drive through the Hills of Mols, (Mols Bjerge). The size of the rallies forced the end of the joint drive.
Engines
Other vintage car - and special engine events in this region, the peninsula of Djursland include: The Danish Engine and Machine Collection and the Dansk Motor- og Maskinsamling with Scandinavia's largest collection of stationary engines. The Agricultural Museum, Landbrugsmuseet, is based at the castle, Gl. Estrup, with a collection of vintage tractors and farm implements. At The Danish Farm Fair, Dansk Landbrugsmesse numerous tractors and old machines are exhibited in early summer. The annual festival, Mosten Race day focuses on custom racing motorbikes for the quarter mile events.
