The 2023 Defender Awards

Hosted at the Mirotvorets Plaza in The League & Concord

Please note official business (onsite voting, etc) will be conducted from 2023 Defender Awards. I am making this post from my main as that account is too new to post images.


Introduction, Rules, & Schedule

Welcome, all, to the 2023 Defender Awards! This iteration marks the first event of this kind since the ratification of the Award Accords in February 2023, and as you've already realized, it is hosted by The League & Concord. Specifically, Consul Quebecshire and Director of Culture Not Gagium.

"Celebrating a year of defender efforts, both triumphant and turbulent! From the liberations of New Westphalia and South Pacific, to the invasions of Islamic States and Solidarity, join us in celebrating defender-led victories, the efforts that fell short, and the people that made them all possible!"

We reserve discretion on removing bad-faith nominations.

NOTE: All events since November 11th, 2022 are considered valid nominations for these awards, as that is when the last iteration announced its results. Furthermore, The League & Concord retains the right to enforce its laws and customs on our forum. All proscribed or otherwise barred individuals must participated via the on-site means.
