MX USER CHOICE AWARDS 2018
1st of January - 14th of January

Happy New Year everyone!

Welcome to the second edition of the MXUCA, the MX User Choice Awards. This is an opportunity to look back at all of the great noteworthy people and creations over the past year.

Things will be run a little different to last year, everyone will be allowed to vote for up to 3 entries per category, with primary, secondary and tertiary votes. Votes will be counted up and scored to determine all winners.

The full list of categories will be listed in the following post, with 4 types of categories:

• Creators of the Year: This is for the people who made some terrific things in 2018.
  
  
• Creations of the Year: This is for the variety of amazing things made in 2018.
  
  
• MX Users: This is for the outstanding people in the community, whether found in the forums, or on our discord.
  
  
• MX Stats: These are for achievements that can be calculated with statistics, rather than votes.
  

VOTING RULES AND GUIDELINES:
> Voting for yourself is completely forbidden.
> You may vote for the same user across many categories, but keep variety in mind.

no video category

Sorry for any missing categories like that. There's a few reasons for it.
We tried to cut down on too many overall, if we included one for video makers, we'd likely have to include one for other similar categories, in the same way as not having categories for individual built styles.
We wanted to try and focus more on site-specific things based around track building primarily.
As well, Huntmania's 2018 awards featured awards for video makers, videos and drivers. So we felt that it was already well-covered over there.
