The format of the trophies remains the same as last, year with a few returning additions to the trophy list from previous contests!
With the obvious exception of the Studiopolis Trophy, attributed once per category by the Media Panel, each Trophy is attributed to up to two entries per category, them now being ROM Hack, Modern 2D, and 3D. One is attributed by the Judges, whereas another is attributed by the general community.
Below are the lists of what game belongs in which category. These lists were determined by the Judges based on their modding methodology. If you believe there are any errors, please let us know!
