Who is eligible to be nominated?

The CRIT Awards strives to center the community when considering those eligible for the awards. As such, nominations are open to the whole of the TTRPG community, with some restrictions. Each award category has a thorough description detailing the criteria for qualification and ineligibilities.

Our board members and projects run primarily by our board members are ineligible for nomination. This also applies to members of our vote verification team.

Members of our staff are eligible for group awards with stipulations:

A production with a majority of CRIT Award staff is NOT eligible for Actual Play categories.

Our sponsors CAN be eligible for nomination, even if they are donating to or sponsoring the event (Example: Dice Makers, Artists, etc)!

As we are a community-based event with the overarching goal to highlight community and uplifting our community members,

small creators and independent businesses who are providing awards to the show may still do so BUT for categories they themselves are not nominated in.

Also, while we love our large-scale and union productions like Dimension 20 or Critical Role,

we ask that you prioritize your peers and community members in your nominations.

Such productions are not eligible for a selection of the awards and are noted as such in the descriptions of each award category.

Nominations utilizing generative AI or Large Language Models (LLMs) in any capacity are not eligible for consideration.

The CRIT Awards operates under Critical Chaos Entertainment, LLC.
