Popular Post Dragon-Archon Posted November 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) PSNProfiles is proud to announce the fourth annual Guide of the Year Awards Keeping up our young but successful tradition, we are delighted to hold this competition for the fourth year now. It's not only a nice tradition though, it's becoming more and more of a success-story. In the previous 11 months 364 guides were published. That's more than 1 guide per day! All that effort and dedication deserves a worthy event to find out which guides are among the best. Just like last year we'll be awarding prizes to the best three guides published by 1st of December, but more about that later. This gives you a little over 3 weeks to write a couple more guides, which will be eligible for this contest. Maybe this is the time to finish that one guide you have been working on for ages, but could never find the motivation to finish? For those of you who have been thinking about writing their first guide, now's a good time as any to start. Check out the PSNP Guide Manual for more information. Here are the rules: Starting on December 2nd, the community will be able to nominate guides which are worthy to be considered for the GotY Award. A special nomination thread will be created for this purpose. You will be required to give solid reasons for your choice. Every guide published on PSNP between December 2 2016 and December 1 2017 will be eligible. Keep in mind that the guide team needs time to review a guide and it may need revisions, so don't wait until the last day to submit a guide for review. The nomination thread will be closed after two weeks. The top ten guides with the most nominations will go on to the next round. During the next round the PSNProfiles staff (Sly, mods, and the guide team) will pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The total number of nominations for guides in the top ten is irrelevant for our decision. The guides which get the most nominations is not necessarily going to win, the staff will review all ten guides and the only thing that counts is quality! Since we don't want to rush this, expect this to take another 2 or so weeks. Since the staff will be deciding the winners, their guides will not be eligible! Co-op guides with staff members will be eligible, in case a co-op guide ends up in the top 3, the non-staff writer will get the whole prize. PSNProfiles will provide additional prizes for all guide contributors so long as they contributed a meaningful amount to the guide. We track all edits so this will be checked. Didn't you say something about prizes? Ah yes, almost forgot about this. And now what you've all been waiting for, the GotYA 2017 prizes are: For Everyone: The ultimate prize is the satisfaction of helping gamers all around the world. This alone should be sufficient. 1st Place: $300 in PSN vouchers 2nd Place: $200 in PSN vouchers 3rd Place: $100 in PSN vouchers Besides that, the winning guides also obtain an awesome seal, so that everyone will know you did an outstanding job and won the GotY Award! This means almost endless internet fame and glory, it's worth much more than those silly prizes! So what are you waiting for? Write a high-quality guide today and you might win this thing!

Undead Wolf Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I look forward to this every year, but this time I actually have some horses in this race so to speak, so the stakes are high! Lots of good great guides were published this year, though, so the competition is fierce! I still need to decide who I'm giving my nomination to. I have a few in mind.

Lagoon Aris Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I don't think I would have a chance at this, but I'm just wondering... what happens to the prizes if the winner doesn't have a US PSN account? Does the amount of money get transferred into the respective currency and they get a voucher in the corresponding amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platisfaction Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Feels weird not being in charge of this anymore. Awesome that Sly was able yet again to offer the juicy prize money! I'm really looking forward to this, it's really gonna be epic! 6 hours ago, Deluziion90 said: Good luck to everybody. For me however the winner already is @PowerPyx. Helped me allot this year with his guides While I totally agree about the quality of PowerPyx' guides, you need to be aware that the guide has to be published on psnp in order to be eligible. This year, there is "only" the Nioh guide which notes him as a contributor. Edited November 10, 2017 by Platisfaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ac3NiNjA9 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Woah, that prize is motivating but I'd rather spend the time I have outside uni playing games.. GL all, guide of the year sure is a great achievement to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platisfaction Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, PixelatedPortal said: What would that task require? Last couple of years Final compiled a list of all eligible guides, sorted alphabetically, linking to the individual guides so that people had an easier time checking out the guides and picking their favourites. Since we are talking about 360+ guides this really is a mammoth task! @TheFinalEmblem thanks again for your awesome work! If you feel up to it: Every guide published between 2nd December 2016 and 1st December 2017 is gonna be eligible; guide team member guides are not eligible unless they have at least one non-guide-team contributor (who would get the complete prize).

I came in at 3rd place last year and got 100€ in PSN vouchers. Also glad it's that time of the year again. To be honest i've got a very strong candidate for who to nominate in mind as of right now, but there's still time. Just saying it'll be hard to win me over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
