>HOW TO NOMINATE
Select a category, let us know if it's good or shit, and submit your picks. Most awards are for 2025 games unless otherwise noted.

>Suggest a new award
We're incredibly uncreative, so we'd love to hear your suggestions on what new awards we could add to the show this year (or in years to come).

Guidelines when suggesting awards:
>Don't submit awards we've done in previous years.
>Awards should have at least 5 viable nominees, preferably more.
>Make sure it's clear what the award is actually for.

FAQ:
>What is eligible?
For most categories, eligibility criteria is any game from the calendar year 2025 that has an English release. There are some special exceptions.
1) Nominees for "2005" and "1995" categories must have been released in English in 2005 or 1995, respectively.
2) Categories that say "of all time" can have nominations from any year.
3) Remasters or re-releases that add or change a significant amount of content are acceptable. Straight ports of games releasing in a previous calendar year are not. Likewise we do not consider cosmetic DLC unless there is an award category for it.
4) Nominees for Kamige Award for best eroge can be released in 2025 either in Japanese (with an English translation available, official or fanmade) or in English. However, if such a nominee qualified in a previous year, it will not be considered again.
5) For Best/Worst Character, you may nominate individual characters from the game or the entire cast. We may limit characters from a given franchise to the top 2/3, so more games can qualify.
