End-of-the-Year Awards
Hello, wonderful viewers! Welcome back to the annual End-of-the-Year Awards! To explain what this is— in 2011, The 'Shroom Core Staff decided to give out honors to those that participated in The 'Shroom and related activities. We had six regular categories, with one award in each category. They were:
- Golden Mario Award – Given to those who wrote for The 'Shroom for all of 2011.
- Golden Luigi Award – Given to those who almost always submitted their sections with perfect spelling, grammar, and formatting.
- Golden Bowser Award – Given to those who consistently submitted their sections on time.
- Golden Peach Award – Given to those who consistently produce sections of excellent quality.
- Golden Toad Award – Given to those that have helped out The 'Shroom in some form.
- Golden 'Shroom Award – Given to the individual that was deemed to have produced the best section overall.
This year, the Core Staff wanted to go further in depth and wanted to honor more writers than last year. So what we did was expand the amount of categories to seven, and most of the categories (save for two) consist of two tiers. So without further ado, here are the categories and awards, and the recipients of said awards.
