On the asset store it says you can give vouchers to 12 people per year.
Any suggestions on who to give them to?
Or should you just give them away at random in a competition?
There’s no need to give them away without a purpose. If someone has issues accessing the package because of some error it might be useful to give them a voucher. I’ve also given away a couple of vouchers as contests for various reasons. They can be used for all sorts of promotions.

You can give them to me! joke
More seriously: Do you have someone who has given a lot of good feedback in forum threads for your products and/or found some bugs for you? Saying thank you with a key to your next package might be a nice gesture. (Plus, you can tell your accountant you only did it to get that person to give more useful feedback for improving things.)
I have not checked to make sure this doesn’t violate Asset Store rules, but it’s common and game and book sites. How about finding someone who writes detailed reviews of similar products and offer them a free copy if they write a detailed review of yours? Two caveats: They should specifically state they received a review copy so that readers can be informed of potential bias. You should be very clear both with yourself and them that you’re offering a key for an honest review, not a paid five-star review.

Yeah, giving them to trusted community members in exchange for both (honest) reviews and feedback is probably a great idea.
But like random says, don’t feel the need to give them away just because they’re there. It should be mutually beneficial. Figure out your goals with an asset and then decide if you can use the vouchers to help you achieve those goals and how best to use them if they can. Otherwise, don’t worry about them.
I’m in the middle of building an asset. Still pretty new at the asset building game. My plan was to give one to the guy that originally sparked the idea for the asset, and maybe a couple of the more vocal forum participants that might like and promote the asset.
Beyond that they were simply going to be gratitude currency for those who helped me out, or provided good feedback. I see no special need to use them all. After all, every one you give out is a new non paying customer to support.

I’ll happily give very verbose and honest reviews of any assets you might care to share. I’m extremely picky and a perfectionist, as well as broadly talented in all areas of development, i’ll help you find flaws if there are any ^.^
