Hey, y'all. Flippy2K here, and today I am here to remind you that from December 1st, 2023, you can pick which nominees for the the award categories for GIWA 2023! Users have until December 23rd to suggest which nominees you want to put to the chosen category, do not hesitate to comment down your suggestions below, for all opinions are welcome (unless they are rude and unbecoming).
In case you aren't sure what the categories are, here is the list of confirmed nomination categories that will be appearing in GIWA 2023:
- Writer of the Year
- Breakout Writer of the Year
- Legacy Writer of the Year
- Game Idea of the Year
- Fighting Game Idea of the Year
- Racing Game Idea of the Year
- Hack and Slash Game Idea of the Year
- RPG Idea of the Year

- Original Game Idea of the Year
- Fanmade Game Idea of the Year
- Sequel Idea of the Year
- Game Idea Box Art/Game Title of the Year
Here are the rules about GIWA 2023 so that you are clear about choosing nominees:
- All game ideas made before December 23rd, 2023 are qualified to enter. All game ideas made afterwards will not be able to enter as a nomination for GIWA 2023 but will be eligible to be selected for next year's GIWA.
- All game idea nominations must have the matching category to enter into one of the category award sections. For example: Capcom vs. SNK 3: Battle of the Millennium 2022 has the "Fighting" category in its page so it can be selected for "Fighting Game Idea of the Year".
- If your game idea does not have the category in its page whilst you nominate it for that specific award, feel free to add that category to your article or else it is unable to be selected.
- It isn't necessary for your game idea to have a VG template in its page, whether you use it to make your game idea look good is up to you.
- It is, however, a necessity for your game idea to be as presentable and detailed as can be. If it looks like it is half-finished, lacks polish or is otherwise not detailed enough, then the game idea cannot be nominated.
- Regarding the "Game Idea Wiki Classic Game Idea of the Year" award, games posted in the wiki in 2022 or older can qualify for this award.
- Regarding the "Legacy Writer of the Year" awards, users who have made at least 10 articles and have joined the wiki for at least 1-2 years can qualify for this award.
So there you have it everyone. If you have any questions regarding the rules and the award categories, as I've mentioned above, do not hesitate to comment below. So without further ado, let the nominations begin!
