Hello again, everybody! This is Kieran and allow me to welcome you back to the 18th Golden Community Awards!

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. PRIZES: Now, what do you get if you happen to win a golden award? 1,000 doubloons 200 experience points GCA Winner badge with a new design, courtesy of moi!

I'll always be a Coca Cola man. I even ended up getting into Coke Zeroes too. I'm also a fan of that new Lemon Coke that came out recently; the fact that it's looking to be a mainline flavor makes me happy. That said I'm a big fan of Pepsi Max Lime; I like Sublime Lime Diet Coke too but they don't sell 24 packs of the cans yet so it's not what we end up getting.

Ravensburger. Love me a good puzzle.

Hello all, it’s GCA season! I’m Aquatic Konquest - or just Konquest, or Kieran, whatever tickles your fancy - and I’m back as host for the 18th Golden Community Awards! And like my first time hosting five years ago, I’m dipping everything in gold! Feast your eyes on this year’s GCA trophy, designed by yours truly! Isn’t he a beauty?

LittleBigPlanet. Definitely a franchise that needs and deserves a lot more recognition, as well as another proper installment. Plus it's insanely innovative and a marvel to see what people can capable of creating with the game's mechanics.

My go-to is always Spotify whenever I'm drawing or just on my laptop in general, although sometimes I find things on YouTube that I can't get on Spotify. Amazon Music is how I listen to music whenever I'm doing the washing up in the kitchen, or if I'm in the rare mood to use my Echo Show to play music in my room instead. I only really use traditional radio whenever I'm having a bath, although sometimes it's used as background noise in the kitchen; my favorite station used to be Kiss 100 until I noticed they started playing garbage remixes of pop songs after 9/10pm, so I switched to Capitol FM which just sticks to pop and never looked back.

Yeah, so what'd y'all like to do (or rather, where would you want to go) during summer holidays?

BECAUSE I TOLD MYSELF THIRD TIME'S A CHARRRRRRM!!!!

BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TOOOOOOO....AGAIN.....

BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TOOOOOOOO
