Total War Center Modding Awards 2015
Na Total War Center rozpoczęto nominacje w konkursie na najlepsze mody i modderów w 2015 roku.
Nominować można mody powstałe w 2015 roku, jak i modderów, którzy w tamtym czasie wydali swoje dzieła. W tym roku doszła nowa kategoria - Attyla.
W związku z 2-letnim opóźnieniem kilka miesięcy temu także mogliśmy nominować modderów i mody za 2014 rok. Zatem to drugi konkurs w ciągu roku.
Jako polska strona Total War zachęcamy do nominowania polskiej sceny modderskiej, która mieści obecnie sporą rzeszę modderów. ;)

Greetings everyone, and welcome to the Modding Awards for 2015!
Nominations
There will be a public nomination thread for each game, here players can nominate mods or modders that they would like to see move through to the voting stage and be in with a chance of winning. Anyone may nominate this way and can nominate any mod or modder that falls under the right category as long as it was updated or released in 2015.
Modders reserve the right to ask for their mod or themselves not to be considered for nominations for any award category. If this is this case please PM me so I can remove any nominations of your mod and make a note to inform people that your mod/yourself cannot be nominated.
This year, the nomination period will not have a list of eligible mods. This is in part due to time and manpower constraints, but also to allow more freedom in nominations and less sifting through long lists. Please keep in mind however that mods still must meet the eligibility criteria either way, and we will definitely be checking every single nomination to make sure it checks out. You should do your nomination a favor and link to it's thread or forum and proof of its eligibility. If a mod does not have a clear release date listed anywhere, it will not be considered eligible.
On top of that, there is no need to nominate a mod more than once, if you notice someone else has nominated a mod you wished to nominate as well. Once a mod is nominated just once, it will be included in the awards no matter how many nominations it gets from different users. Users are also encouraged to nominate however many they wish in each category, as there is no limit to how many mods may be nominated.
The nomination period will last a minimum of two weeks. It can be extended at the discretion of the modding awards committee.

FAQ
Q) Can modders nominate their own work?

Q) Can modders advertise the awards?
A) Yes, anyone is allowed to advertise the awards, in terms of getting the word out that they are going on. However, while any case of anyone explicitly asking for votes for themselves will not automatically result in disqualification, it is at the discretion of hex and the modding awards committee in the end. Anyone may advertise the awards as a whole as well as express that they or their mod are indeed a part of the awards, explicitly asking for votes is generally discouraged but this year will technically be allowed by these rules.

A) For the purpose of these awards anyone who is a registered member of TWC and in 2015 has publicly released or updated, or has worked on a public release or update (for example as part of a modding team) for, a mod. While not required, it may be helpful to others considering nominations/voting to link to a modder's more prominent and popular mods for reference.
