Hello and welcome to the second official and annual awards ceremony for the largest English RPG Maker community.
It's been an active year, and phew, it's that time again!
Everyone gets a vote!
You submit your nominations to me, the hostee of these prestigious awards, during the Nominations Period. I then total up all the scores and see who has the most nominations.
The top names from each category will then enter the Preliminary Voting stage. They will be posted in poll form, and everyone will again get to vote for their favourite from each of the categories.
The top few from each category will then enter Final Voting. This is it. A head-to-head fight to see who will win an ORGy award.
An ORGy is a small golden, silver, or bronze trophy not dissimilar to an Oscar, and way more prestigious. It has no monetary value, only sentiment and gratitude and all things shiny. Everyone wants one. So few ever get one.
You can whore them in your sig. You can whore the project/workshop specific ones in your project/workshop threads. This year we're even going to give you custom user badges with them.
You can whore them basically, what better thing to do with a small gold shiny man!
Voting will begin next week, for now you can nominate your people via the template below!

THE ORGy
(you have to vote for this one. This is THE orgy. Follow your mind~ Use your initiative. Just vote.)
Send me a private message with your nominations.
You do not have to nominate for every category, in fact it is probably better if you don't, to discourage "random nominating".
Just to recap, you can ignore any category except for "The Orgy".
Also, you cannot vote for yourself
