Hello everyone.

Our initiative, the DOOM AWARDS, emerged from a need we perceived in the community. We noticed that the current DOOM award systems did not have a voting process as transparent as the one we had in mind. So, we decided to act and create this new initiative. Our goal is not to surpass the existing awards but to offer an alternative. Although we are a small group and have just started, in less than a year, we have achieved something unimaginable: a nearly global audience, with about 10,000 unique visits to our website from all over the world. Because yes, friends, change is good, and so is novelty. Without them, we wouldn`t have alternatives, and having different options is positive. However, there are people who have publicly shown their intolerance and disrespect towards us, questioning the need for other awards when some already exist.

Isn`t it good to have variety and options? Would you prefer a few to decide everything?

Our sole aim is to establish a different system, where you, the user, can vote and choose the winners each year. It`s true that we don`t have as many users as the already established communities and our votes might be limited. This year, for example, many high-quality projects didn`t win, possibly due to this issue. But it doesn`t matter, we have all the time in the world to grow and attract new users who will vote in the coming years.

In conclusion, everything that has happened this year and what is to come is thanks to you. the community.

Best regards, and thanks so much for your support, we hope to count on you next year !!

The first edition of the DOOM AWARDS 2023, which coincides with the 30th anniversary of the original release of DOOM in 1993, celebrates the best community projects of the legendary DOOM. This event is an annual celebration that recognizes outstanding achievements and contributions in the DOOM community, emphasizing innovation and creativity. It serves as a platform to honor the most exceptional projects created by DOOM enthusiasts, highlighting the lasting legacy and impact of the DOOM series across three decades. This year`s awards are particularly special and mark an important milestone in the history of this iconic game series, due to the 30th anniversary.

From here, we extend our sincere thanks to the creators of DOOM, the innovative game from Id Software that has shaped the future of first-person shooters since its launch all those years ago. The original Id Software team, which included John Carmack, John Romero, Tom Hall, Adrian Carmack, Sandy Petersen, Kevin Cloud and Bobby Prince, brought to life a game that has had a profound impact on the world of video games. Their innovation and creativity laid the foundation for what would become DOOM, a cultural phenomenon and a pivotal moment in the history of video games. The world of video games would not be the same without his extraordinary creation.
