Spring Thing 2024 Ribbon Nominations are Live!

Players can now nominate entries in this year’s Spring Thing for ribbons. There are two kinds of ribbons:

  • “Best In Show” ribbons, for Main Festival entrants only, will be awarded to the two games with the most nominations overall.
  • “Audience Award” ribbons, for any festival games, are suggested by nominators and can be anything they like: “Best Story,” “Best Parser Game,” “Personal Favorite,” “Alumni’s Choice,” “Cutest Vampires”… you get the idea.

Ribbon nominations are open to anyone, although we respectfully request that you:

  • Play at least two games before making any nominations
  • Only make nominations once per festival year (although it’s easy to update/amend your ballot)

Players may nominate games up until 11:59PM EST on May 11th at the nomination page on the festival site. The festival games are available here.

Just popping in to say that voting is going very well, and we have quite a few votes.

But, interestingly, they’re very spread out. Around half the games have nominations for Best in Show, and no game has more than 1-2 votes.

So, if there’s a game you feel strongly about, make sure to vote, as your vote alone might be the deciding one!
