The 2022 TGDPS Awards is the 2nd award ceremony in TGDPS. The awards are given out to the best TGDPS players at certain things, such as being skilled at playing, creating, and others. It also honors the best TGDPS levels. So far, the Google Form to nominate people for Awards was released on December 14th, 2022, and finished on December 20th. The nominees were announced on April 30th, 2023, and the form to vote for the nominees has finished.
Compared to the 2021 Awards, the 2022 Awards has new sections such as Best Stargrinder.
== History ==
=== Guidelines/Rules ===
When the Awards were announced and people started nominating players, there were rules/guidelines to make the Awards cleaner.
In the 2021 Awards, there was an issue where some levels/players won more then 1 category, because people kept voting for the same thing. So there was a rule where you couldn't nominate a level more than once, and that people should choose a specific level for each category. The only exception were creators, which were allowed to be noimated more than once.
Since it was called the 2022 Awards, only levels released in 2022 were allowed to be nominated. So no levels below the ID 1619 were not allowed to be nominated. This also included levels that were uploaded in 2021 but reuploaded in 2022 due to Tal's accidental deletion of some rated levels. There were also a list of levels that were "blacklisted", meaning that you could NOT nominate them for any category. There were 44 levels that were blacklisted
Tal though made it so that if you were unsure on what to choose to nominate for a category, you could leave a "-" on it. He then instantly regretted that because he knew people would put dashes on 90% of the categories.
Tal also said to actually pick things rather then being selfish and putting everything someone made themself.
=== Video Production ===
It had been over a month since the form to nominate people for Awards had finished, and the video had yet to come out. It turned out that Val was the one making the nominees video, and it was taking a while for Val to finish it because of schoolwork, though Val told Tal holy sh*t that rhymes that the video was going well so far. Tal also said that the Awards video may be inaccurate, but he didn't care.
On February 20th, 2023, Val stopped editing the Awards video due to being mentally drained, and losing motivation to continue due to the file being corrupted, and having to redo every single edit. Val also took a bit of a break from TGDPS and GD as a whole. The video production then moved on to Tal, who has been working on it since early March.
On March 14th, 2023, Tal told people in TGDPS General chat that the video wasn't dead and it was still in progress.
On April 8th, 2023, Tal once again in TGDPS general chat made an update on the awards video, and said the nominees video was 8 minutes in length so far. Three days later, he said the video was 15 minutes in, and 70% done.
On April 29th, 2023, Tal finished the nominees video and premiered it the following day. Tal apologized in the discord server and in the video’s description for the video being delayed by 5 months due to “unfortunate moments”.
=== Google Form ===
The Google Form to vote for the nominees came out shortly after the nominees video premiered on the TGDPS YouTube Channel. Voting ended on May 7th at around 10:21PM EST. There were more than 50 votes in the form.
=== Long Wait ===
The Awards video took almost three months to complete. This is due to Tal transfering video production to Zoner. The long wait ended up killing most hype around the awards. There was almost no mention or discussion of the awards for the entirety of May, early and mid-June, and early July, with the only talk of it being if the awards video were even coming out, as well as Val making joke that the awards video should come out the day before the 2023 awards nominees.
On July 13th, 2023, the Awards video was announced to premiere the following day.

== Controversy ==
After the awards, some people, including stargrinders such as Hamotho, Swagwarrior, complained that the stargrinder award was a popularity contest, due to EliGabRet winning the category, despite EliGabRet only having half of the amount of star Swagwarrior had, and 1/3 of Hamotho's star count.
== Trivia ==
- Despite being a "blacklisted" level due to winning awards in the 2021 awards, Bright Light by Meramie was nominated for best level.
