Yearly Site Awards are dividend into two different groups, '''Members''' and '''Modding'''.

Everybody is welcomed to apply for a position within such Committees.
 
  
- ''TWC Modding Awards'': These Awards are meant to reward worthy mods (including tools and resources) and modders (including tools and resources makers) hosted or anyways present at TWC. The Modding Awards have been held since 2005 and have evolved as the TW games (and their popularity and moddability) evolved themselves over the time. They originated as a Curial activity (with the supervision of Administration), but since 2014 edition they are managed directly by the Awards Hexer with the support and work of the Modding Awards Committee. Visit the Modding Awards forum [https://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?1680-The-TWC-Modding-Awards here]
 
  
- ''TWC Member Awards'': These Awards are meant to reward all the worthy TWC members, as nominated and voted by the TWC membership itself. They include categories ranging from the Best Debater up to the Favorite Staff member, and they have evolved over the years as the site and its community evolved itself. First edition was held on 2005 and it originated as a Curial activity, but since 2013 edition they are managed directly by the Awards Hexer with the support and work of the Member Awards Committee.
