Many words have been spoken about how important the community is as a whole, the talent that the community collectively brings forth, to provide us with many things that keep ArmA alive, whether that be addons, mods, missions, campaigns, squads, websites or simply just some damn fine conversations on the various medium out there.
Most of the time it would be unfair to pick out one or two examples of the best that the community has to offer, but then as they say, life's not fair! To that end we can officially announce the first stage in the 2008 Community Awards, these awards will be a chance for the community to nominate and then vote for their favourites in a number of areas (see below), The category winners will each receive prizes and to hopefully ensure that as many people nominate/vote as possible there will also be 5 randomly awarded prizes of ArmA posters, the posters will be given to 5 names of people who nominated/voted during the awards process as drawn from a hat
A full list of the prizes on offer will be announced shortly.
On to the categories themselves, understandably there will be some people who complain that a certain category is missing, (you have no idea how much nagging I had to put up with from Rhodite about having a scripting category!) But for this year the decision was made to keep things simple, as such the categories are
ArmA Addon/Mod of the year 2008
ArmA Mission/Campaign of the year 2008
Community Website of the year 2008(eg news site, squad site, addon site whatever, online radio station etc)
Community Member of the year 2008(eg most helpful, most interesting, most productive, most passionate etc)
THE NOMINATION PERIOD IS NOW CLOSED!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SUBMITTED NOMINATIONS, STAY TUNED TO THE COMMUNITY
