2024 winter awards
Biggest Army
Over the past few months, the community has experienced significant shifts, bringing about notable changes. While some achieved the major army title, others fell down to small/medium. In your view, which of these armies demonstrated exceptional resilience and emerged as a dominant force within the community during this year thus far?
Nominations:
- Army of Club Penguin
- Rebel Penguin Federation
- Doritos of Club Penguin
- Help Force
- Aliens
best major Army leader
The army community would be defunct without the selfless work of the major army leaders. They lead their army through highs and lows, through wars and battles, and have the greatest influence on the success of their army. The best leaders are often those who keep their head the lowest, bearing the most responsibility while ensuring that each member of their staff team can shine out. From this list, consider the leaders who have put in the most work to make their army a success.
Nominations:
- Ugly (ACP)
- Roxy (ACP)
- JoelFreak (SS/DCP)
- Logical (SS/DCP)
- Aisha (SS/DCP)
- Link3000 (RPF)

- BEASTO (HF)
- Thuanthaijo (HF)
- Fitsuki (EGCP)
- Lass (EGCP)
- Bestpenguin (Aliens)
- Void64 (Aliens)
best small/medium Army leader
Not to be confused with major army leaders, S/M leaders play an equally important part in the community. They keep an eye on the “lower leagues” and are the cornerstone to building any army from the ground up. They understand the struggle of keeping an army afloat better than anyone and are often the hardest-working members of the community. Any thriving major army today has a S/M leader to thank for it.
Nominations:
- Shinzo (WH)

- Scars (Scars)

Most tactical army
An army’s dominance within the community can manifest in diverse ways, starting with high maxes or frequent conflicts. However, such dominance doesn’t always guarantee victory in every battle. The title of “Best Tactical Army” will be awarded to the army that consistently exhibits outstanding performance on the battlefield and rarely loses, even if facing a stronger opponent.
Nominations:
- Army of Club Penguin
- Doritos of Club Penguin
- Winged Hussars
- Rebel Penguin Federation

Nominations:
- Ugly (ACP)
- Shinzo (WH)
- Link3000 (RPF)
- JoelFreak (SS/DCP)
Best higher command
No army would be complete without its higher command. These staff members are the driving force behind the army, bringing their leaders’ visions to completion. They support their commanders through highs and lows and provide leadership for the lower staff, making their role doubly important. Without these individuals, any army could never survive.

- Ugly (ACP)
- Cabin (WV)
- Dino (WV)

Biggest rise
The Biggest Rise is awarded to the army which managed to not only keep its head afloat but thrive. In today’s environment, with a diminished player base and difficult recruiting, any army that has been able to flourish can be applauded.

Nominations:
- Rebel Penguin Federation
- Secret Service
- Winged Hussars
- Army of Club Penguin
- Templars
- Doritos of Club Penguin
- Aliens of Club Penguin
best conflict
The past few months have seen their fair share of conflict. We all know the true purpose of army conflicts, though: entertainment for the community at large. The Best Conflict is not only the one with the most satisfying conclusion but also the one that allows armies to showcase their true strength and that pushes leaders to prove their worth.
Nominations:
- Autumn Tundra War: Rebel Penguin Federation vs. Secret Service
- Spectral Siege: Phantom Republic vs. Rebel Alliance Commando
- Operation: Iron Resolve: Scars vs. Spartans
- The War of F-ing Around: Elite Guardians vs. Winged Hussars

most controversial moment
Ah, CPA drama. Where would we be without you? Much happier. It should come as no surprise to anyone that where penguins are, drama follows, and the past months have been no exception. While controversy can often be stressful for those involved, it allows the community to take a step back and consider the whole equation of an issue, determining to avoid these mistakes going forward.
Nominations:
- EGCP shuts down after leadership coup and controversy
- RPF declares war on SS; Service releases accusations against the Rebels
