Welcome to the 8th Annual Mod of the Year Awards - the premiere event that celebrates the best creations within the modding and indie gaming scene. Developers have delivered plenty of great gameplay experiences this year, and now it is our turn as gamers to nominate and recognize the best of 2009.

From now until Feb 20th, we shall be sharing a year in review and showcasing the editors' picks of 2009, culminating in the announcement of this year's best mod and game as voted by you. The top mods and games will win the honors of being placed alongside other projects that have gone on to become commercial successes and cement their place in ModDB's hall of fame. And to the winner goes the spoils; ModDB has teamed up with a whole lineup of sponsors that have provided prizes ranging from software to servers to beanbags. Everything to help budding developers excel at their craft.

Big thanks goes out to this year's awards sponsors, who have kindly offered prizes to the winning teams.

The 2009 Mod of the Year awards have just kicked off, and while it is all about the grand prize (being crowned the Mod of the Year or Indie Game of the Year), we have a little bit of swag to give away, which we would like to thank the sponsors for now.

Sumo joins the lineup, by offering 10 of their giant omni beanbags. We were lucky enough to be sent 2 samples to the ModDB office, and these beanbags are mighty comfy on the rump. They are a great way to relax after a tough day/night developing games, and are so big they provide a great hiding place when the project leader is yelling at you. So if you are still looking for a last-minute xmas gift, Sumo is a great option, we know the winning teams will enjoy them!


CVSDude also joined this year, offering thousands of dollars worth of hosted development tools, which includes everything you possibly need from bug trackers to wiki's and svn. CVSDude already hosts projects for a number of commerical game developers, and their service should prove invaluable to the winning teams.

Returning sponsors include Noesis Interactive, Nuclear Fallout, 3D Total and Hourences whom we thank for their continued generosity. If you would like to provide prizing to the winning mod teams, get in touch.

No Air Force this year? Too bad, I'll bet they chucked some pretty good money into it.

Great to see Sumo in there, good look to all participants!

Though Alienware may be gaming oriented, I'd prefer a company better known for reliability as a sponsor.
