NE Awards 2025 
It's once again time for the annual NE Awards, reflecting on the past year of RCT to find the parks and players that stood out from it all and embodied the best of the best. Coming after a H2H year is often an exciting time, with players re-energized by the break and pouring their energy into creative new projects or continuing with renewed vigour on their works in progress.
Last year saw the fruits of that effort, with two amazing Spotlights among a slew of other extraordinary parks, and a host of new Parkmakers. Among it all we saw the sixth iteration of the New Element Design Challenge, along with the first few rounds of the ongoing Through The Ages contest, which is throwing up a bounty of gorgeous RCT.
The Awards process this year has been aided by
Jappy, 
Terry Inferno and 
Turtle who have assisted the admin team in deciding the list of nominees presented in the poll.1 The poll will stay open for about a week. We will close the poll some time before the ceremony to prepare results, so don't take much longer to vote than
28th March .This year's ceremony will take place on
