I wish they would let you choose any game that fits a category limited by the current t year if needed. Half of the time I haven't played any of them.
You mean for the actual vote? Because you could nominate any game, no matter if you played it or even bought it on Steam, and the Top 5 nominations in each category made it to the final vote.
They do though. Aside from the award names and the award descriptions (which function as prompts) the awards are player driven entirely. The nominees are chosen during the player nomination phase, then during the finals players choose from the most nominated. I believe there needs to be some critical curation but currently it's entirely chosen by Steam's players.
