The Simming Prize is Always Open for Nominations

While the latest Tournament of Simulations has just gotten underway, the awards season never ends in simming and online role playing! Indeed, the Simming Prize (officially The Prize for Simming and Online Role Playing in Memory of Seth Cotis) is always accepting nominations using this form.
What is the Simming Prize, you might ask?

Well, it goes all the way back to 1999 (or thereabouts) when the Simming League formally launched the The Simming League Prize for Simming and Online Role Playing (or Simming Prize, for short). Modeled after the Nobel Prizes, Simming Prizes were awarded annually with one citation in each of these five categories: Internet Technology, Literature, Management, Peace, and Service. Those first winners included Alliance Simulation Group (ASG), Tashak, Ender Maki, Chas Hammer, RolePlayerUSA, the Star Trek Galactic Newsletter, and Trek Online.
While the five categories no longer exist, the Simming Prize remains alive today to honor those in the simming & online role playing community who exemplify service, quality, and dedication or who pioneer new technology or techniques. The Prize can recognize a significant one-time accomplishment or sustained contributions over a period of time. Individuals and entities who win a Prize are entitled to use the honorific Simming Prize Laureate.
Who is this Seth Cotis?
Seth Cotis was the founder of Starfleet Legacy Alliance (SLA) and a long-time leader within the Simming League. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2005. The League initially considered establishing a new award, the Seth Cotis Medal of Honor. However, they instead decided to rename the existing Simming Prize in his memory. We continue to honor his legacy today. Ametheliana of Star Army, Obsidian Command of Obsidian Fleet, and RPG Writing won Prizes for 2024.
