Hello and Welcome to the Tenth Annual GMV Awards!
This year's awards are undergoing many changes, and we want your opinions to be heard! As a result, we have opened a public discord here: discord.gg/q2C3th5
Some changes are already in progress! This year marks the beginning of admin changes. with this year's admins being Blue24601 and Railitto. For the first year ever, we will crowd-source several of the main rules of the GMVAs, including which categories will be involved and how judging will be handled. The GMVAs have always been about the community, and we feel community involvement is necessary to make the awards move smoothly and appeal to new faces. So please, feel free to join and invite other GMV editors!
We will be seeking our judging panel in July by our current plan. More information will follow on this year's categories.
We greatly appreciate your continued support over the years and hope you will continue to be involved ♥
