The Sackies - Best innovative creation
The Sackies – Celebrating the highest level of achievement amongst Players, Creators and Sharers on LittleBigPlanet.
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.

The Sackies - The Ever-Watching-Eye Award
The Sackies – Celebrating the highest level of achievement amongst Players, Creators and Sharers on LittleBigPlanet.
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.

The Sackies, the First Annual Sackademy Awards
As we all know, LittleBigPlanet is an ethereal dreamscape of wonderment and possibility, and for just over a year now imaginations have been running wild, filling the LittleBigPlanet with incredible and beautiful creations, enthralling adventures, and brilliant things to do. Even away from the Planet’s surface, impressive things are made and shared, and our lives have all been transformed by the efforts of our peers, and PSN Friends.
It is these achievements we will be celebrating over the next few weeks, as we recognise the highest levels of achievement in and around LittleBigPlanet, by awarding the greatest honour possible for us to bestow – the Sackie.
