Golden Gnome Awards
Join us for the the most prestigious awards ceremony of the year, the Golden Gnomes!
For those of you new to the Golden Gnomes, these are the shiniest of GGs, commemorated with a physical trophy - a literal golden gnome! The awards cover all sorts of artistic endeavors, from dedicated content creators to stand-out community members. It's the opportunity to truly celebrate all the incredible content, artwork and acts of kindness that comes out of our community.
Our winners have been nominated and voted on by you, with everything culminating in a huge celebration, which will be presented live from RuneFest on ! Can't make it? Don't worry, it'll be streamed on Twitch so you can cheer on these creative greats without having to get out of your pyjamas.
Reminder that we're doing things a little differently this year. To be able to fully celebrate a wide reaching variety across the communities of all three of our games, we'll be varying where and when we announce each award. We're excited to announce a brand new, extra Golden Gnomes award ceremony! This is something never seen before, and means we have the opportunity to give every Golden Gnome winner their moment on stage! There'll be J-Mods handing out awards, acceptance speeches and many a shiny trophy given out! While this pre-show won't be livestreamed, all winners of all categories will be shared in a celebratory blog post following the event, too. This will take place on the Varrock Stage at 2pm BST. This show won't be livestreamed, but we will be sharing all winners in a follow up blog on Sunday, October 4th!
