The Airsoft Players' Choice Awards is a premier online event for the airsoft community, offering players worldwide the opportunity to nominate and vote for their favorites in various categories. The 14th Awards Period is now underway, spanning a two-month duration.

Encompassing all facets of airsoft, the categories include retailers, players, publications, manufacturers, products, blogs, communities, reviewers, videos, podcasts, and events. The Awards' unique distinction lies in their foundation on the opinions and preferences of airsoft players themselves, allowing them to express their appreciation and support for those who make significant contributions to the airsoft community.

The Awards process consists of two stages: the Nomination Period and the Voting Period. The Nomination Period runs from 13 November to 11 December 2023, and it allows players to nominate their favourites in any or all categories. The nominees must meet the criteria for each category. The top five nominees (or less) per category, based on the number of nominations, will advance to the Voting Period.

The Voting Period runs from 18 December 2023 to 15 January 2024, and it is the final stage of the Awards. The finalists can campaign for votes by using various media platforms, such as websites, forums, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, and social media. The finalists who receive the most votes in their categories will win an award. The players who cast their votes will also have a chance to win various prizes in a raffle draw.

The winners of the Awards and the raffle prizes will be announced one week after the Voting Period ends. They will be notified by email and their names will be published on the Airsoft Players’ Choice Awards Page.

The 14th Airsoft Players' Choice Awards won't happen without the support of the following sponsors:

Let's have all those votes coming and let's make this awards another successful milestone in the history of airsoft.

Goodluck to all the finalists!
