Gimkit awards 2025- Current plans + Community updates

Maybe

I think emails are not allowed as well

I think there was a post above saying that last year, the gimbucks were handed out, only to the winners that shared their email.

@Hot-Doug oh lol. I didn’t mean it that way.

The way you phrased it made it seem like their intentions were malicious. They only gave it to those who handed out their emails because Josh can’t hand out the prizes to names, the only way to do that is by emails, which is what you log into gimkit using.

what if ppl live together, like siblings, who want to vote? Ex: Snoopy and Rainbow

That’s by far the minority of the forum users, maybe they could decide together?
It would be a small price to pay that maybe 10 forum users can’t vote if it means it can keep the entire Gimkit Awards voting from being cheated on. I mean josh doesn’t seem to have an issue with it.
@Unstable, you said to report anyone off topic and Slim has been very off-topic and kinda rude as well.

That’s one of the downsides to using IP’s.

You guys don’t really have to stress about this, just have fun with it! We’ll figure something out over the next few months.

Thanks @wingwave!
Quick question (this may have been answered already, sorry): If multiple people collaborate on making a map and win for their category, would the prize be split or handed out individually?

The prize won’t be split, but getting the prize is going to go one of two ways:
1- We only give it to one member
2- We give it to as many members of the group as we can find

And honestly, it’s entirely up to staff on how they want to handle it. It’s a lot easier on them to just hand out one prize per winner per category, and that’s what we did last year I believe, but handing out prizes for everyone would be more fair, but much much harder to manage.

I guess. Given the forums and their weird obsession with thumbnails, we might have to slightly rig the competition, but We’ll just have to see how the cards end up falling.

We’ll try to get the prize divided to everyone in groups this year. I believe this wasn’t the case last year, but this year we will try to get that prize to everyone that earned it.

Finally, a really good question. So, yes, as meep said, we’re toying with what platform to have votes on so it’ll be much harder to cheat, but in terms of advertising and whatnot, we’ll hopefully have a couple people checking the forums to help get a big 'ol list of everyone who advertised so we can disqualify all of them. To that extent, feel free to throw a mention to me in a reply to whatever you think might be advertising for the gimkit awards. Or any other topics about the gimkit awards, because they’re problematic.

Basically, this is any art that isn’t directly made inside the game, so if you go paint a picture of a gim in Microsoft paint, then you would qualify for the Best Fanartist award. I would like to mention that I dislike the wording for both the artist and fanartist categories, so I do intend on changing them around in some way before we get that list of all the categories out to you guys in February.

See this creature as something I made to prove my point

Yay! The Gimkit Awards are back! I’m aiming to win this time around. :sweat_smile:

Btw, sorry for the freak out last year, @Unstable! I was a bit immature then, but I’ve matured since then, so I apologize. Also, I’m not trying to get on your staff. lol

As a peace offering, I have about 30 or so quality categories I was going to use for you-know-what a while back. If you want, I could find the list and give it to you (not asking for credit, just trying to make up for last year).

Ok, There are to many posts to read through right now so if you answered these questions, sorry (I’m on post 221) but:

  • But can community picks, be in it?
  • How do you plan at looking at ALL the topics
  • Where do the winners games go?
  • Are you going to show the games that are nominated
  • Are there any different things then last year (this year) to nominate for?
  • How are the games going to compete?

for the post below:

Me to, but I had to wake up AND go to a parade…
