The ENnie Awards- Support the ENnies

Organizing and presenting an annual award ceremony incurs thousands of dollars of expenses in booth dressing, shipping, awards, advertising and other expenses. Fortunately our sponsors, EN World and Gen Con LLC, defray much of them. But they can't cover every penny spent, and those copper pieces really add up, especially when we're trying to increase the visibility of the Awards at Gen Con Indy, in trade magazines, and with retailers. Our corporate sponsors help a great deal, and to them we owe a great debt of gratitude.

Dream Date Auctions | Sixth Pile Auctions | Silent Auction | Ceramic DM | Sponsorship

The annual GenCon EN World RPG Awards are a celebration of excellence in table-top RPGs. So what better way to celebrate than sharing the table at the awards ceremony with your favourite game designers and publishers? Or if a designer can't make it that night, how about representing them at the ceremony? All winners of the Dream Date Auctions enjoy reserved seating at the tables close to the stage with the publishers.

Sixth Pile Auctions

Every year, publishers submit six copies of their finest product to the ENnies for consideration. But there are only five judges, so you may ask what happens to the extra product? Nominated and winning products are used for display purposes at the booth at Gen Con Indy, and then are used to help defray costs of running the ENnie Awards: auctioned off on ebay, or donated to our hard-working volunteers and staffers.

Silent Auction

Thanks to the support of many publishers and individuals, the 2007 ENnies were able to raise over one thousand dollars through our first silent auction. If you or your company would like to contribute to the 2008 silent auction, please contact Kennon Bauman here.

Writer's block has afflicted this poor advertisement, so we won't say anything snazzy. Which is fine, because anything we say will just pale next to the ingenuity and creativity of the stories in this book. Buy a copy of the Ceramic DM ENnies fundraiser, "Selections from the Writing and Art of E.N. World," enjoy a bit of fiction, and help celebrate excellence in both writing and gaming.

This 61-page book contains 12 selected short works and accompanying artwork from the Ceramic DM competitions. Two versions are included in the PDF edition, one pretty version, and one without background graphics. The print edition, available on actual paper, also includes these two PDFs at no extra cost. If you buy the PDF edition, and then decide to buy the print edition afterwards, you will receive a $4 discount on the cost of the print edition (if purchased through the same RPGnow account).

Sponsorship

In 2007, the ENnies were lucky enough to be sponsored by YourGamesNow. This opened many new opportunities for the awards. If you would like to sponsor the ENnies, please contact Denise here.
