==User-Related==
===Funniest User===
WTB was voted Funniest User! The man is chill and normal 99% of the time but that 1% can result in some of the most out-of-pocket shit ever uttered on a Discord server. An obvious choice.
===Nicest User===
Jamma was voted Nicest User! His unflappably optimistic attitude makes him a welcome positive influence on the wiki's Discord server and a shoe-in for this award.
===Most Missed User===
Bink was voted Most Missed User! Bink joined the wiki early on and was arguably BTFF's first big artist, with the quality of her art easily outranking anything else present on the wiki at that point. She was also a good writer for the time, creating some of the most memorable and well-written series found on the wiki during her active period in the early 2010s. She hasn't been on the wiki in years, having moved on into the wider world of graphic design, but anyone who was around while she was still here most likely remembers her fondly.
===Best Bureaucrat===
Ulti was voted Best Bureaucrat! I don't think this one is gonna surprise anybody. Ulti has served the wiki dutifully for years, and to be perfectly frank we'd hardly get anything done without him. It's almost impossible to overstate how much he's done for BTFF over the years, so this a well-deserved award.
===Best Writer===
Coke, Amanda, and Hannah all tied for Best Writer!
Coke is best known for his work on Back in Action: Alien Universe, a sequel to Ben 10: Alien Universe, with some differences from the Classic Continuity. The show was canceled in 2014 but came back in 2019.
Amanda is best known for her work on Death of Ben 10, its sequel Ben 10: Reboot Revolution, and her current series Ben 10: Beyond Bellwood, all of which have been very popular in their own right.
Hannah is best known for her work on Serena & Sasha's Solar System, which has one of if not the single most unique premises on the wiki, making it a fun and interesting read.
===Best Artist===
Roxy was voted Best Artist! Best known on BTFF for her work on Ben 10: ExOS and various related projects themed around the original Ben 10, Roxy has greatly developed her artistic abilities over the years and is capable of creating designs that perfectly mimic the OS art style (an extremely valuable skill to have in the Ben 10 fandom).
===Most Talented User===
CaT was voted Most Talented User! The one-man-band, jack-of-all-trades approach may not be the smartest way to tackle multimedia storytelling, but it has given me a fair number of skills under my belt. Thanks, y'all!
==Project-Related==
===Best Finished Series===
Project Deca was voted Best Finished Series! Created in 2019 for the 10th anniversary of the wiki, Project Deca is a massive crossover series written by yours truly that features tribute episodes to the most popular series from the wiki's decade-long history while still telling its own overarching story. It has something in it for everyone and it's won this award every year since it finished, so frankly it seems like I've already peaked.
===Best Still-Running Series===
Ben 10: Beyond Bellwood was voted Best Still-Running Series! Created by Amanda in late 2022, Beyond Bellwood is a series featuring a version of Ben Tennyson whose home universe was devoured by an eldritch creature known as the Flesh jumping between the universes of various media franchises on a quest to save the Omniverse.
===Best Fanon Movie===
Project Deca: The Final Hour was voted Best Fanon Movie! A follow-up to Project Deca released after a year and a half of troubled development, The Final Hour is a crossover between several popular series that went unfeatured in the original show. It features the ultimate conclusion to the Chronian story arc established in the 2007 movie Ben 10: Race Against Time and touched on in Project Deca. An special edition of the movie titled Project Deca: The Final Hour (Ver. 12th) was released for the wiki's 12th anniversary, featuring more backstory, new art, and the correction of a few grammatical errors.
===Best Fanon Video Game===
BTFF RPG was voted Best Fanon Video Game! A massive crossover game featuring various elements from the wiki voted in by wiki users, BTFF RPG is a JRPG that takes place in a metaphysical manifestation of the Ben 10 Fan Fiction Wiki itself, allowing players to take control of ten popular wiki users that each have their own unique alien transformations to utilize in battle. It's the first full RPG I ever developed and is unpolished as all hell, so I can only assume the fact that it's an actual playable video game with the ultimate BTFF user power fantasy as its premise is what keeps it winning this award year after year.
===Best Fanon Episode===
Life and Flesh was voted Best Fanon Episode! Life and Flesh is the first episode of the aforementioned Ben 10: Beyond Bellwood, and made a lasting first impression on the community with its dark tone and unique premise.
===Best Fanon Crossover===
Over the Revolution was voted Best Fanon Crossover! The 10th episode of Project Deca, Over the Revolution is a tribute episode to Amanda's already-popular series Ben 10: Reboot Revolution, and is notably one of the few PD episodes to take place directly in the tributed series' original universe. Add to that the prominent role played by fan-favorite character Miguel Rivers from Mig X and some behind-the-scenes involvement from Amanda herself, and it's not too surprising that this is one of the most popular episodes of the show.
Also the title is a blatant reference to toku sexyman Kamen Rider Evol and I somehow got away with it scot-free which is nice
===Most Detailed Fanon Series===
Serena & Sasha's Solar System was voted Most Detailed Fanon Series! Given its unique premise, an exceptional amount of worldbuilding was necessary for this series almost be default, and Hannah more than delivered on it, giving us a detailed look into the vast possibilities of the Ben 10 universe.
===Most Creative Fanon Series===
Project Deca and Serena & Sasha's Solar System tied for Most Creative Fanon Series! I've brought up the uniqueness of Serena and Sasha's Solar System several times already, and Project Deca has a similarly unheard-of plot as far as the wiki is concerned, so this tie makes total sense.
==Alien/Omnitrix Related==
===Best Fanon Omnitrix Alien===
Silverpoint, created by your truly, won Best Fanon Omnitrix Alien! Silverpoint is a free-use alien based on the drawing technique of the same name, and has the ability to "draw" objects made of pure silver into existence. This "drawn" silver is much more durable than normal silver, making it useful in a wide variety of situations.
===Best Fanon Nemetrix Alien===
Highlight, created by Ultra in collaboration with Ulti, was voted Best Fanon Nemetrix Alien! Highlight is ChamAlien's natural predator, possessing infrared vision that allows it to detect camouflaged Merlinisapiens and the ability to create a blinding flash capable of incapacitating their prey for several seconds.
===Best Fanon Antitrix Alien===
Acid Trip and Geneius, created by Ulti and Blake, respectively, tied for Best Fanon Antitrix Alien! Acid Trip is a mutant Polymorph/Ekoplektoid hybrid with a malleable and extremely acidic body that can be split into five clones with reduced acidity, and Geneius is a mutant Planchaküle/Slimebiote hybrid capable of jury-rigging various constructs using the AntiTrix's DNA samples. They both combine their source aliens' powers in a unique and interesting way, making this a fair tie in my opinion.
===Best Fanon Ultimate Form===
Ultimate Clockwork (CaT), created by yours truly, was voted Best Fanon Ultimate Form! It's a fairly straightforward evolution of Clockwork that was mostly created for the sake of a minor plot point in Project Deca, but I did put a lot of work into trying to make it cool, and it seems like that work paid off. Thanks, y'all!
===Best Fanon Omni-Enhanced Form===
Omni-Enhanced Big Chill (Amanda), created by... well, Amanda, was voted Best Fanon Omni-Enhanced Form! Omni-Enhanced Big Chill gains the ability to create Kinetic Ice, a special type of ice that spreads when touched and makes for a great electric conductor.
===Best Fanon Omni-Kix Form===
Omni-Kix NRG, created by Blake and Ultra, was voted Best Fanon Omni-Kix Form! This form replaced NRG's bulky containment suit with form-fitting Omni-Kix armor that both contains his radiation and grants him the ability to create "Containment Capsules", radioactive time bombs he can control with his mind.
===Best Fanon Enhanced Form===
Unlimited Buzzshock, created by Amanda, was voted Best Fanon Enhanced Alien! This form of Buzzshock is an Unlimited Alien, transformations that have had parts of their biology "stripped back" in order to unleash greater power at the cost of safety; in Unlimited Buzzshock's case, his entire physical form has been removed, unleashing him as a being of pure electricity.
===Best Fanon Fusion===
Fire Hazard, created by moi, won Best Fanon Fusion! Fire Hazard is a free-use Heatblast/Water Hazard fusion created for 2017's Heatblast Fest that has the ability to summon boiling geysers from the ground using a combination of fire and water manipulation. He was named Fire Hazard because naming him either "Heat Hazard" or "Waterblast" did not appeal to me at the time.
==Character-Related==
===Best Fanon Hero===
Kev 'Leven (Beyond Bellwood) from the series Ben 10: Beyond Bellwood was voted Best Fanon Hero! For a guy killed off in the first episode, he left quite an impression, acting as a role model and source of inspiration for the series' actual main character, whom he passes his Omnitrix on to while making his final stand against the Flesh. RIP to a real G.
===Best Fanon Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain===
Attai Zehn from the series Project Deca was voted Best Fanon Anti-Hero/Anti-Villain! At the beginning of the series, Attai is cold and purely driven by logic, seeing the destruction of a universe as no big deal considering how many near-identical copies of it exist in the multiverse. He gradually softens up as his travels through the omniverse and battles with literal Space Nazis teach him the value of life, and by the end of the series he's developed a much more heroic personality, albeit one that's still rough around the edges.
===Best Fanon Villain===
The Flesh from the series Ben 10: Beyond Bellwood was voted Best Fanon Villain! The Flesh is an all-consuming organic mass capable of devouring entire universes and incorporating their matter into itself in a manner similar to a "grey goo" scenario. Terrifying and unstoppable, the Flesh feels more like a force of nature than an individual threat, making it stand out among BTFF's usual rogues galleries.
===Most Unique Fanon Power===
Plot Device's Plot Control, created by Amanda, was voted Most Unique Fanon Power! As you can probably tell just from the name alone, Plot Control is an ability that essentially turns dialing up Plot Device into an instant win button by altering the "plot" of reality itself. Technically it's a bit more complicated than that but I'm not about to just copy-paste the entire "Powers and Abilities" sections from its page so just visit the link yourself if you want the specifics.

That concludes this year's Omniverse Awards! Be sure to participate next year, and while you're here, aggressive reminder that Upgrade Fest 2 is currently happening (in case the wiki's header and background somehow didn't clue you in), so go ahead and celebrate however you want!
