Worldbuilding Awards 2025

Worldbuilding Awards

  It is the time of the year again to submit some entries for the Worldbuilding Awards! This year I have made an overview with my entries. These articles are some of my favorites and in case you haven't seen them yet be sure to give them a read! I sincerely hope that we can also get chronicle competition going this year as their were not enough competitors last year!  
In the author notes I added some links to the submission pages of other great anvilites. For each of them I have also picked a personal favorite from their submission. Don't forget to check them out as well!   These section keep expanding as I continue to read more of the submissions!

Hearts & Minds

  The largest library in the world is located in the Adroon Oasis and have stood the test of time for many centuries. It holds knowledge from all over the world and has one of the best universities of the world. There is a saying "If it exist you can find a book about it in the Adroon Library".
 

Rise of Nations

  The Avaronian Empire was a gigantic nation in ancient history with territories on three continents. The impact it has had on my world is not to be underestimated as its language and culture form the basis of many societies in the current era.
   

Wonderous Nature

  One of the most famous and defining landmarks of the greater Mizarin region is the Risha River. Its many tributaries flow from the eastern mountains that form the border with Raitinshin. The dense jungle around it is filled with all forms of life and many areas near the river are yet to be explored by people not native to the jungle
   

Strength & Honour

  For centuries the Avaronian Empire and Selefer had been at war and although the process was slow the Selefer were pushed further and further back. When the Avaronians encroached on their core regions the Selefer tried to use dangerous magic which led to their downfall.
   

Pillars of Progress

  Hidden deep in the earth one might stumble on the advanced cit of Loforia. Under the leadership of their god the Daski Elves living here have made technological marvels not seen anywhere else.

Myths & Legends

 
  This sad tale tells the story of a goddess who tried to save her children who fell down to Niorath during one of her travels between the two moons. With her magic she managed to save them but at a great cost.

Time and Space

  I am really proud of my chronicle and put lots of work in it but sadly there were not enough competitors last year. So I hope this year we can get the award started! By clicking on certain war events new maps are opened that show the progress of conquests during that period in time.   Roman and Greek History  
Sad to announce that this year there are also not enough competitors for this category despite it being my personal favorite.
 

History

  This WAWA I have chosen to put my Roman History in the spotlight with a lot of work put into the background maps to show the growth of territories.   Roman History  
 

Cartography

Golandon is my largest city map and also most worked out settlement. It has a rich history and many buildings to explore!

Major Categories

  As I made no new worlds this year my nominations for these will be the same this year. However, there have been improvements in structure compared to last year! It is still not far as I want so be free to vote instead for one of the other authors listed below!    

Best Article

  Best article is a very difficult category and always has great entries. It was difficult to chose one from my world that can live up to the title but the Thunderstrike is one of my favorites so I had to chose it. I hope you enjoy it and the map I created for it!
