ABOUT WAR OF AWARDS:

"War of Awards" is a campaign and event designed to engage the entire gaming population in the otherwise elite horse race of video game awards season. 

Each organization's award serves as a "play-off," with winners advancing to the fan-made "SuperBowl" known as the live debate "caucus," where supporters anoint the best of the season's winners at PAX East (Boston) on March 30, 2019.  Tentative time and location is 7:30pm in the Bobcat Theatre (changed from Dragonfly).

War of Awards will be carried on the official PAX East 2019 live stream.  Season updates will be announced on Discord below.
