It's that time of year again! Safe to say 2020 was a year that no one will be forgetting anytime soon, and not all for good reasons. Despite all of the hardships however, 2020 still saw a decent number of solid new releases for JJ2 - which we are now going to celebrate!

You must read the rules before voting. They are as follows:

1) In the past you were only allowed to vote for one nomination per category. However, in order to allow more levels to get the chance to be appreciated this time around, you are now also allowed, but not obligated to vote for your second and third choices, which respectively have x0.5 and x0.25 the weighting of your main vote. You do not have to vote in every category if you wish not to do so.

2) You are not limited to voting within the nominations, but you are advised to at least check these levels if you haven't already, in order to make your vote fair. Also, unreleased/unfinished levels cannot be voted for; they must be available for public download.

3) Votes are to be kept private until announcement of the overall results. This is to raise the tension, and also to prevent bandwagoning. In order to vote, post your votes here and then delete the post after you have submitted it, and a moderator will undelete it after the deadline. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can submit them using the following Google Form, or you are allowed to PM them to Stijn, but bare in mind that your choices will be announced in public once the voting stage is over. Any votes left public will be forcibly deleted by moderation, and your vote may not count. If you vote using the Google Form, you must confirm with me by sending me a PM or replying to this thread to confirm that you have submitted your votes, else they will be null and void during the final count. This is to prevent people from claiming to be someone else when voting.

4) Voting closes on 16th January at 23:59 GMT+1. Votes made promptly after this deadline may still be counted but as soon as a moderator undeletes the posts, any subsequent votes will be ignored.

Happy voting, and good luck to you all!

I vote the Darkest Diamonds levels, the coolest coop levels, and...
Uhm.. i can't decide more :P

Since there seems to have been some confusion over how to vote, I have decided to create a Google Form as an alternative way for people to submit their votes, where the voting format is clearly layed out.

JCS Awards 2020 Voting Form

However, there is an important caveat when using this form to vote: you must confirm that you have submitted your votes, either by sending me a PM or by replying to this thread to say you have voted using the form. This is crucial to prevent people from attempting fraudulently vote in the name of someone else.

Just letting you know that the Tangle Temple download link now is the actual latest version, from JDC. It basically replaces the overpowered roller back with bouncer.

It's not on J2O because I wanted to fix the palette for those who wanted to use the conversion. Trouble is, it's a pain to fix. However, the gameplay will remain the same from now on.

Voting has now closed! Stay tuned for the results!
