==================================
ELIGIBILITY
The Enhance Community Team / Goldy Awards committee considered and determined the shortlist of 10 stages per category from the available playable stages as of December 20, 2023. If a nominated stage is removed, edited, or altered in any way, it may no longer be eligible.
JUDGING & VOTING
Starting January 5, 2024, four finalists in each category will be announced each weekday (for a total of 10 days for 10 categories) via social media at x.com/humanitygame. The community will have 3 days to vote via the poll posted for each category. The two groups of 5 categories will rotate through the in-game playlists again. The current category will be featured as an in-game playlist on its polling day.
Nominees and finalists are determined through a combination of gameplay data (players, favorites, ratings, etc.) and Enhance Community Team selection. Social media voting will only be used as an additional factor alongside those to select the ultimate winner of each category.
WINNERS
Winning stages will be announced via stream on January 24, 2024 at twitch.tv/EnhanceExperience. Winning creators must contact Enhance at [email protected] and confirm their identity by March 1, 2024 to receive a physical award.
PRIZES
A set of 1 Shiba and 1 Goldy statue with the winner’s stage and category etched into it and a customized thank you card.
Good luck to all the nominated creators!
