End-of-the-Year Awards

Hello, 'Shroom readers and newspaper fanatics! Welcome to the fourth End-of-the-Year Awards! Back in 2011, we started giving out awards to honor our hard-working writers. We have several awards that we are giving out, most of which are divided into two tiers:

  • Diamond and Golden Mario Award – Given to those who have written a single section for The 'Shroom for a longer period of time.
  • Diamond Luigi Award – Given to those who almost always submitted their sections with perfect spelling, grammar, and formatting.
  • Diamond and Golden Bowser Award – Given to those who consistently submitted their sections on time.
  • Diamond and Golden Peach Award – Given to those who consistently produce sections of excellent quality.
  • Diamond and Golden Yoshi Award – Given to those that have contributed many sections to the paper.
  • Diamond Toad Award – Given to those that have helped out The 'Shroom in extraordinary ways.
  • Diamond and Golden 'Shroom Award – Given to the individuals that produced the best sections in 2014.

And now we have the Awards!
