This is for the XYZZY Awards page content (not the infobox).
An annual popular-choice award formerly organized by [[Eileen Mullin]] of [[XYZZYnews]], and currently organized by [[Sam Kabo Ashwell]]. The XYZZY Awards are similar to Oscars in the movie business. The awards take place each year in the early spring, with the ceremony occurring online. The awards ceremony used to take place on [[ifMUD]], but in 2017, the event changed venues. The award winners are now announced on [https://twitter.com/xyzzyawards Twitter] instead. There are two stages of voting. In the first stage, games are nominated by the IF community for the different categories. Any game that was published in the previous year is eligible for nomination. Games that have been nominated frequently become finalists. In the second stage, members of the community vote on the finalists to pick a winner of each category. {{Xyzzies}} ==Fine Print== * Regarding [[IntroComp]] games: The year that an IntroComp game is completed is the year that game becomes eligible for the XYZZY awards. <!-- {SUGGESTION: Some explanation of when the Awards are, which games are eligible, and how the two vote process works should go here. Information relating to a specific year or category should instead go on the applicable page; see above navigation box. -- [[User:Dswxyz|David Welbourn]] 09:47, 26 Jan 2005 (Central Standard Time)) --> ==Trivia== * [[Speed-IF XYZZY]] and [[Speed-IF Century]] were two minicomps that used the XYZZY Awards ceremony as a setting. == Links == * [http://xyzzyawards.org/ XYZZY Awards].
