With the nominating process done, it's time for the part we've all been waiting for: Voting! Who will bring home the gold this year? Let us know by submitting your ballots! THE RULES: Per the new status quo, we'll be using a ballot form. A link to the ballot can be found here. Please do not directly send me your list of votes, and especially do not post them here. You cannot vote for yourself. If you do, you have to wear the Stinky Boot. (This also applies to anything you've made that was nominated in the Creative Arts categories.) You must vote for at least one section. You are welcome to skip a section if you’re not comfortable voting in that field, but it would be nice if votes could be given in all categories. You may use write-in votes for the first time ever, but please use it wisely. They must be legitimate entries, not jokes. PRIZES: Now, what do you get if you happen to win an award? 1,000 doubloons 200 experience points GCA Winner badge (if not already obtained from previous years) A trophy with your name and the corresponding category With these things in hand, you're free to place them in your profile or somewhere else special. Now, with all of that said...

The GCAs return for Fall 2025, hosted by yours truly! Out of all the things I've hosted throughout my nearly eight-year tenure as SBC mod, this is probably the very last thing I've bothered to check off. It'll be gilded, it'll be storied, it'll be lemon-scented, but most importantly it'll be your selections that decide who takes home a precious virtual trophy. Rules 1) Post your nominations in this thread. 2) When nominating, you must do at least one section. The Creative Arts section is not a mandatory section and staff will choose if nobody else nominates for it. 3) You may nominate between 2 to 5 choices in the Members & Creative Arts sections. You can only nominate 2 candidates for the Hall of Fame categories. Now, here are the categories! Member Categories Funniest Member Chattiest Member (For most active/talkative Discord members) Spongiest Member Best Gamer Show Stopper (For users most passionate about film and/or tv) Geekiest Band Geek (For users most passionate about music) Most Artistic Member Sportiest Member Creative Categories Best Story Best Miniseries Best Episode Best Comedy Best Character Best SpongeCraft Build (Image links to the creation - while very helpful - are not required but will be added for voting) Best Artwork (Any artwork from #da-art Discord channel or Squidward’s Art Show, be sure to link the image and say who the artist is) Best Pictionary Drawing (Any Pictionary drawing which are stored on the game’s server, be sure to link the image and say who the artist is) Hall of Fame Categories (Note: For this section, you can only nominate 2 for each category.)

Honorary Member For ordinary members who you feel deserve special recognition, whether it be based on behaviour, activity, or their contributions in general. Current staff (jjs, JCM, sbl, Hawk, OWM, Trophy, DarknessDG, Zaid and Aquatic Konquest) cannot be nominated for this award. Cha, WhoBob, SOF, HawkbitAlpha, sbl, Katniss, Steel, Ex, Prez and Salmon have won previously and cannot be nominated. Honorary Skin To honor the artwork of our graphic designers over the years by highlighting impactful forum themes. The Stephen Hillenburg Community and Pride Patties have won previously and cannot be nominated. Please note that any skin with both a light and dark theme will be counted as a single skin. The deadline to post your nominations is November 21. Make sure to submit your nominations sooner than later, and we can get this show on the road!

Self-explanatory. Only rules are that they have to be from SpongeBob and that they can’t be edited. And you can only post one at a time. Go wild.
