After a 3 week nomination period, and a 2 week voting period the results are in.

The impending reprint of the long out-of-print Survive: Escape from Atlantis! is the overwhelming winner of this brand new category.

I'm glad to see Survive! reprinted, and a number of other games in this category piqued my interest, including Train of Thought, Crows, Nobody but Us Chickens and Big City.

Without further ado here are the Most Anticipated Family, Party, Word & Abstract Games of 2011 as determined in this most unofficial, informal and unscientific experiment.
