Named for the bird of prey depicted on our regional flag, these awards will recognize some of the most outstanding creative work done by our members during the past year. Categories include best character, best new character, best historical or future character, best regional RP, best factbook, and best RMB bulletin (which covers designs, news updates, and other such developments that are IC but not multi-member).

Each nation will be able to nominate up to two entrants in each category, as well as one wildcard selection of another member's work. This is fairly straightforward in all categories in which there is a single author, but regional RPs muddy the waters a bit by involving multiple parties. In that instance, we will distinguish 'principal authors' (those nations who spawned the idea) from those who simply react to the major updates. In that case, we will ask that wildcard nominations be made for an RP in which you were not a 'principal author'.

Once all nominations are entered, 'gaps' will be filled in by making sure every regular EOA contributor eligible for nomination has received one, creating somewhere between 10-20 nominees in each category (this will vary, as some categories, like bulletins and factbooks, will naturally be more numerous than regional RPs). Anything mentioned at least once on the RMB between 1 December 2022 (formally defined as RMB page 4,615) and 30 November 2023 will be valid for submission.

See: Official Nomination Form

Voting will take place over several days using an offsite host. Ranked-choice voting will be used, so each member of the region can identify a small selection of favorites. The winner and runners-up will then be announced at the end of each day. This dispatch will be routinely updated on which categories are up for a vote, as well as its respective nominees. The schedule is as follows:

• Thursday, November 23rd: Beginning of nomination period
