Modding Awards

Overview

Modding Awards were commenced in the month of December, 2005. It was started in order to reward TWC modders & their mods in some certain way because of the hard work they put in modding TW games which directly makes TWC one of the leading TW forums on the globe. Gradually over the years modding awards developed into more of a tradition of TWC where by the end of the year majority of the active forum members participate and nominate their favorite modders & mods. There are many categories and the one with maximum votes in that particular category wins it fair and square.

During the second year of the awards (2006) it was held three times, but since then it has been held annually. The awards first began receiving corresponding medals with the 2007 Annual Awards, which were awarded after the fact.
