Most of these awards are for individual levels, or things within them, but in some cases these levels are part of a bigger whole. There are some creators out there who manage to wow, innovate, entertain and amuse time after time after time after time.
This is the Creator of the Year award.

Gameplay isn’t always the focus of a level, but it’s by and far the most prominent idea behind a Creator Curator’s masterpiece. This award recognises the level with the best gameplay – the most fun, the least frustrating, the replay value, the novelty, how well thought out it was, and how impressive it is.

Levels can be used to tell a story in many ways, whether told directly with magic mouth text, or perhaps through exploration, this award will go to the level that stood out the most and used a well told story as a key part of the experience.

There are various ways to use Audio in a level, and various tools to help you. Some people go above and beyond the call of duty and use audio in new and exciting ways, or just in a really solid and impressive manner. This award is for the best use of Audio in a level – both Music and Sound Effects.

Throughout the year, there have been defining moments where a creator has worked out how to break the mould, and bring new exciting ideas to LittleBigPlanet creators everywhere – either through glitches or new methods of using existing tools, this award is for the best innovation in a level, perhaps something that has been adopted by people as a common method, or just something so mind bogglingly impressive that you call the nearest person into the room to look at it, no matter how little they might care about it.

There are some people amongst you who dedicate such a huge proportion of their life to making sure everyone is as well informed as possible, and they do that by keeping their eyes always glued to the internet, constantly searching and reading RSS, and then immediately reporting back the second anything happens. They then stick around and answer every single LittleBigPlanet question everyone ever has on every single forum known to man.
This award is in recognition of that dedication.
