For Your Consideration: WAWA 2025

After much consternation, I submitted a bunch of stuff to the 5th World Anvil Worldbuilding Awards. Participating in these sorts of events is not necessarily healthy for me in terms of my mental health. But when I saw that there were cash prizes involved that might help float my publishing business for the year, I couldn’t not enter.

That said, I only have the notes I made about what I was intending to submit. I don’t have a confirmation of what I actually did submit. So there’s every chance that I changed my mind about one of these at the last minute. Y’know, like Clark the Overthinker is prone to do.

But without further ado, here are the categories I entered for the 2025 WAWAs and what I (think I) submitted for your consideration.

Artist’s Most Beautiful World

Hearts & Minds Award

Rise Of Nations Award

Wondrous Nature Award

Strength & Honor Award

Pillars Of Progress Award

Myths & Legends Award

Once I’ve had a chance to take a look at what some of the other fine folks in the World Anvil community have submitted, I intend to include a list of their best stuff here.
