As a way of thanking people who are helping Monte Cristo by dedicating their time talking about what they would like to see in Cities Unlimited, MC today officially opens the first ever Cities Unlimited Awards.

The way the awards will work is similar to the way we have our local awards here at Simphoni.net. Members of the CU Planet forums can nominate one another for an award in the following categories:

• Best Member Participation Award: Which member participates with quality to the different threads in the forums?
• Most Welcoming Member Award: Which member welcomes the new members in the community or simply shares his/her happiness?
• Most Helpful Member Award: Who is the one that answers other members’ questions or redirects the discussions to other threads when appropriate?

In addition to that there is a special category which is not for CU Planet members but rather for city builder fan sites, called the Best CU Supporter Website Award. We are very pleased that Simphoni.net is one of the nominees for that Award.

Nominations are now open, and will continue until March 14th. Right after, a page will be opened where you’ll be able to vote for the nominees – votes will close at the end of March. The winners will receive an award, which will be displayed on their CU Planet profile. A unique medal will be specially made for the community website winner. Head on over and nominate the people you think are deserving of these awards, and come March 14th: don’t forget to vote!
