All right, airsofters, drop that mag you were just checking! The 16th Airsoft Players' Choice Awards Nomination Period is well underway, and if you haven't tossed your hat (or your favorite AEG) into the ring yet, you're missing the action! We're already seeing a flurry of nominations, it's like a high-octane CQB match, but instead of BBs, we're firing off accolades! This year is set to be the most competitive skirmish for recognition we’ve ever seen. The clock is ticking faster than a sniper hiding in a bush on a sweltering day, so if you want your airsoft heroes to even stand a chance, you need to act NOW.

Let's face it: we all have opinions. About that one guy who always calls "Hit!" at once (a unicorn, right?), or that specific gun that never fails you, even after you've tumbled down a muddy hill. Well, this is your official chance to put those strong opinions to effective use! The Airsoft Players' Choice Awards is the most prestigious online event dedicated to celebrating this wild, wonderful, and occasionally muddy airsoft community. It's not some shadowy committee in a bunker picking the winners; it's YOU. Think of it as your yearly chance to say "Thanks!" to the people and products that keep you coming back for one more round.

Are you nominating your favorite Retailer who ships faster than a speedsofter? The Manufacturer whose gearbox design is pure wizardry? What about that amazing YouTuber whose content makes you nearly choke on your protein bar? We're recognizing excellence across all fronts: players, publications, blogs, communities, reviewers, podcasts, and events! Seriously, if they’ve made airsoft better for you over the last year, there’s a category for them. Don't be shy; your nomination is the first BB fired in their campaign for glory!

This first stage, the crucial Nomination Period, runs from 10 November to 08 December 2025. That's a finite window, folks! You can nominate in any or all categories, but here’s the kicker: only the Top Five nominees in each category will make it to the final ballot. If your chosen one doesn't make the cut now, they're out! Don't let your favorite tiny airsoft blog get edged out by the big guns just because you forgot to click a button. Stop reorganizing your plate carrier for the fifth time today and go nominate!

Once the finalists are set, the Voting Period (15 December 2025 to 12 January 2026) kicks off, and the gloves come off—metaphorically speaking, of course! Finalists will be campaigning hard, but the real fun is for the voters. That's right, by simply taking part, voters are automatically entered into a raffle draw to win exciting prizes! Get your nominations in now, and you'll be set up to vote later for a chance to snag some sweet new gear just for having an opinion. Free stuff? Yes, please!

We must pause and give a massive high-five to our sponsors. These are the unsung heroes who keep the lights on and the prizes flowing for this massive, two-month-long celebration. Their generous support makes this whole shebang possible, allowing us to recognize the best of the best in the community. Let's make this event so huge that every single one of them knows their investment in the airsoft community was a bullseye!
