2025 Golden Gnome Awards: Finalists
Recently we asked you to nominate your favourite RuneScape content and content creators for the prestigious Annual Golden Gnome Awards. We were blown away by the response! Thousands of you have nominated your favourite video makers, streamers, artists and cosplayers, and now we're ready to reveal your finalists for the 2025 Golden Gnomes.
Of course, there can only be one winner for each category. You can have your say on this page at any time until Thursday, February 6th. The winners will be announced live at RuneFest, on Saturday, March 1st! We'll also be livestreaming the entire thing on our Twitch channel so if you've not got a ticket then don't worry, you can still enjoy the glamorous celebration from the comfort of your own home!
Before we get into the nominees, an apology from us. This year, for the first time in a long time, the Golden Gnome for Best Cosplay Creation will be judged live at RuneFest, using the tried and true Clap-o-meter to determine our winner. We're sorry to those of you who were hoping to see your home-made cosplay efforts pay off, and to anybody who was rooting for a particular potential nominee, but this category was included in error. We counted up your nominations regardless though and everybody who would have been nominated is included in the Honourable Mentions section down below!
