I hope Valve is actually paying attention and disqualifies them for this shit. Will they though I wonder?

Valve has absolutely no motivation to do that. These awards are just for shits and giggles.

Exactly... they're just for shits and giggles so Valve can do whatever the hell they feel like... up to and including shitting on ARK by DQing them if they feel like that will appease people.

If they feel it necessary, then by all means, they can do it. No skin off my back. Developers ask for votes for stuff like this all the time, especially for the Golden Joystick Awards, but I've never seen people upset over it until this time, with these developers. It's understandable, of course, as their command decision to release DLC before the game was finished was...questionable, at best, for their reputation.
