The army community gathered in Club Penguin Journey to wrap up the year with the anticipated Iceberg Jubilee. In this post, we will cover the results of the 2025 Winter Awards.
Designed by Master DS
On Sunday, December 28, the Community Committee hosted the Iceberg Jubilee, which had a 20-year anniversary Club Penguin theme. This time, the anticipated Awards Ceremony was held in Club Penguin Journey, as it was thought to be most appropriate based on the theme, given CPJ is the largest CPPS currently. It took place on the Sleet server, in the Christmas-concert decorated Docks room.
Throughout the week, the community was encouraged to vote for individuals, armies, and moments in different categories, choosing who they thought should win an award, after being given a timeframe to send out their nominations for the categories. A few days of voting later, the results were revealed during the Gala. Now, we at Club Penguin Armies are proud to present to you the results of the 2025 Winter Awards.
Army awards
Grand Santa Commander – Best Major Army Leader
First Place: Bestpenguin (39 votes)
Second Place: Link3000 (26 votes)
Third Place: Esc0t27 (19 votes)
Undoubtedly, Bestpenguin became a shining star in the Major scene of the army community. Leading the Aliens since their revival in mid-2024, the Small/Medium Legend has been conducting his army to success, winning two tournaments across the year. Throughout this second half of the year, we witnessed BP winning October Horrors, defeating both ACP and WV in a three-way finals, and now reaching the Grand Finals of Christmas Chaos XV. For these reasons, sweet BP was awarded the Best Major Army Leader.

Mighty Mini-Elf General – Best Small/Medium Army Leader
First Place: Coolguy (24 votes)
Second Place: Fun X Time (20 votes)
Third Place: Apryl (17 votes)
Coolguy managed to win the Best Small Medium Leader award. Despite becoming the Dark Warriors leader in June, with the army opening in July, he has managed to achieve several accomplishments with it. Under his leadership, DW managed to win the Summer Blitz tournament, the Small Medium division of the October Horrors and is now in the SM Finals of Christmas Chaos XV. His army also assisted the Void Troops to win the war against the Templars and the People’s Imperial Confederation.

Blizzard Brainpower – Most Tactical Army
First Place: Rebel Penguin Federation (46 votes)
Second Place: Aliens (39 votes)
Third Place: Water Vikings (30 votes)
For the third time in a row, the Rebel Penguin Federation wins the Most Tactical Army award. This showcases how well-trained and prepared the troops of this community powerhouse are. RPF won all tournaments they participated in this year, and once more are in the Grand Finals of Christmas Chaos. Their seasoned leadership testifies to their strength day by day, what is also seen in their Top Ten domination spree. Bold and unstoppable, the RPF is certainly a beast.
– Edu14463
North Pole High Council – Best Higher Command
First Place: Master DS (34 votes)
Second Place: Guluz (28 votes)
Third Place: Ango (26 votes)
If there’s one person that has shown how loyal and dedicated to RPF they are, it is Master DS. She is one of our longest standing rebels and staff member specifically, having initially joined RPF in 2019 before becoming more active in 2020. She has been a very hard working and reliable member of our HCOM team. MasterDS is very good at helping with a lot of staff teams such as CP News, Graphics and Social Media, is always ready to take on tasks when needed, and is a good recruiter. She has been a staff member for quite some time, and it is nice to see her work recognised.
– Link3000
Sleigh Full of Trophies – Most Achieved
First Place: Bestpenguin (56 votes)
Second Place: Link3000 (40 votes)
Third Place: Daniel20448 (21 votes)
This is the second trophy that Bestpenguin won, after the Best Major Leader one. He deserved this award after raising his army throughout 2025. Under his leadership, his army managed to win the Around the World Cup II, reach the Legends Cup XV Finals, win the October Horrors major division trophy and its Super Cup and is now in the Christmas Chaos XV Finals. His army also managed to defeat the Army of Club Penguin in a war.
– Jojo Teri
Rocket-Powered Reindeer – Biggest Rise
First Place: Aliens (58 votes)
Second Place: Water Vikings (33 votes)
Third Place: Rebel Penguin Federation (28 votes)
The Aliens started the year treading through rough paths. However, the army surpassed the community’s expectations, growing to high sizes, winning a war against the long-standing majors, ACP, and winning countless battles. Their placements on Top Tens also represent how great their growth has been since Summer. Surely the title of the award represents the Aliens very well.
– Edu14463
Hung Up the Santa Hat – Biggest Retirement
First Place: SavageCobra (63 votes)
Second Place: Ugly (29 votes)
Third Place: Justin & Logical (10 votes)
SavageCobra‘s retirement was voted to be the biggest one. It definitely affected the Water Vikings a lot as Cobra had become the main figure in the army’s leadership, raising the army to greatness. His retirement was iconic, with him releasing one of the longest posts in the community’s history, containing 41 thousand words.
– Jojo Teri
Great Snowball War – Best Conflict
First Place: The White Order vs. Rebel Penguin Federation (69 votes)
Second Place: Void Troops vs. Templars – Second Divine Reckoning War (31 votes)
Third Place: People’s Imperial Confederation vs. Water Vikings – The Valentina War (17 votes)
Probably the most controversial war of recent times is the TWO vs. RPF war. Unlike other conflicts that spark because of army beef or territorial disputes, this war started as a statement against the Rebels, who were shrouded in a scandal. Seven S/M armies banded together to form The White Order alliance, including VT, POA, SR, EGCP, SL, PIC, and Romans. Surprisingly, or not, RPF won all 9 battles of the war, issuing a force-treaty against the whole alliance, forcing it to disband mid-war. Until the present day, many question whether the war was the wisest move to address the situation.
– Edu14463
Winter Games of Iceberg – Best Tournament of 2025
First Place: Legends Cup XV (67 votes)
Second Place: Christmas Chaos XV (50 votes)
Third Place: October Horrors (18 votes)
The Legends Cup XV won the best tournament of the year. This was expected as it is the most hyped tournament each year, taking place during the summer peak of activity. This year, LC XV had a unique feature, the addition of the wheel, which defined Quarter Finals and Semi Finals matchups.
– Jojo Teri
Jolliest Army – Best Meme Army
First Place: wii phone (49 votes)
Second Place: Shreks of CP (44 votes)
Third Place: Kanye West Army of CP (34 votes)
The wii phone is a meme army created by Lort533 right after Legends Cup XV. Throughout this season, the meme army caught the attention of many people in the army community due to its unusual theme and name. The wii phone inspired the resurgence of many other meme armies that dominated the S/M scene during the second half of the year.

Department Awards
front page frostbite – Post of the winter
First Place: “An Appeal to Heaven: How To Fix The Army Community”, Written by Aaronstone42 (34 votes)
Second Place: “What If Club Penguin Armies Moved To Minecraft?”, Written by MtJordan II (33 votes)
Third Place: “Club Penguin Armies 2025 Census Results”, Written by Edu14463 & Jojo Teri (22 votes)
The Post of the Winter, written by Army Legend Aaronstone, examined the current state and history of the community while offering insight into how it can be improved. Aaron argues that the decline of armies stems from straying too far from the community’s roots, emphasizing that a return to simplicity and organic activity is necessary for revival. Aaronstone’s post challenges the community to abandon over-structuring and rediscover the values that originally fueled its growth, and to reconnect with the foundations that made it what it is today.

Third Place: Fun X Time & xDemon (17 votes)
As a long-time member of the Reporting Team, Snowy has been a consistent staple. Since joining, Snowy has constantly strived to produce only the highest quality posts, working on making sure he can grow as much as he can as a writer. Snowy has constantly placed in the top 3 in CPA’s monthly Top Ten Reporters ranking, and has recently attained a promotion to Senior Reporter, truly highlighting all his accomplishments within the department. Because of this dedication, I am more than elated to award him the title of best writer.

best Cartoonist
First Place: PingoBoiii (56 votes)
Second Place: Yeeter (39 votes)
Third Place: Zooy (27 votes)
Pingo has used a unique style to create comics that accurately portray the army community. He mainly specialises in satirical comics, regarding the community. It is no wonder that he won this award, as his comics are popular and he never fails to accurately depict the community in them.

Third Place: Zooy (22 votes)
best top ten committee

– Link 3000
best community committee
First Place: Tulip (35 votes)
Second Place: Yeeter & Elsa (24 votes)
Third Place: Lucifer (19 votes)
We’d like to once again congratulate Tulip on her award! Tulip has been extremely dedicated to her work here at CC, having volunteered to host an activity (oftentimes more than one) for 38 of the 52 weeks this year. Additionally, she’s been a great representation of what CC stands for—an upstanding member of the community who treats everyone with kindness and respect. Tulip has also been extremely helpful to her colleagues in CC, which has been amazing to see, and she takes the initiative whenever we host events. So if you see something really cool that CC has hosted, you can thank Tulip! To Tulip, we’re extremely thankful for you being such a great member of the team and we hope that we continue to see you do great here! ❤️
– Zooy
best Social media
First Place: WilliamW2010 (29 votes)
Second Place: Rye Bread (27 votes)
Third Place: Lydia (22 votes)
Very much well deserved! William is very dedicated, respectful and always at the ready for anything! He is the literal description of dedication and I can see that he has a future of becoming a Social Media Head, hopefully if he keeps this up 🙏

Community Awards
Iceberg Nearly Tipped – Most Controversial Moment
First Place: Beanie Babies (39 votes)
Second Place: PIC Leaders Exposed, Army Shuts Down (38 votes)
Third Place: Three-Way Finals In October Horrors (23 votes)
The Beanie Babies controversy was probably the biggest of the year as a whole. It caused a large war with half of the Small Medium community declaring war on the Rebel Penguin Federation and 2 CPA Statements were released on the matter. At the same time, alliances with the RPF were broken because of it.

Snowball of Joy – Makes Everyone Smile
First Place: Bestpenguin (51 votes)
Second Place: Elsa (25 votes)
Third Place: SnowyPlayer (20 votes)
Shiniest Tree Topper – Brightest Bulb
First Place: Aurora (36 votes)
Second Place: PingoBoiii (20 votes)
Third Place: Raven (18 votes)
Aurora received the Brightest Bulb for the second time this year. She has become one of the most famous people of the community, based on her activity in the CPA main chat and her constant complaints. Sometimes, people get ragebaited by her comments so it is no wonder she managed to win the award once again.
– Jojo Teri
Snowstorm in Main – Most Likely to Cause Chaos in Main Chat
First Place: Aurora (47 votes)
Second Place: PingoBoiii (15 votes)
Third Place: Xing (13 votes)
To say Aurora caused chaos in main chat solely in the second half of the year is an understatement. She was a constant chaotic force in CPA’s server throughout the whole year. Annoying many, and ragebating multitudes. Her unstable presence led to a week time out, that turned out to be of no avail. She is now silent. Just lurking. Observing. Who knows when she will start ragebating again.
– Edu14463
Community Comedian – Most Likely to Make Everyone Laugh
First Place: Lydia (25 votes)
Second Place: Roxy (22 votes)
Third Place: Ugly (20 votes)
Lydia is always a nice presence in the main chat. Unlike Aurora, people are happy to see and interact with Lydia and her poop jokes in the community. In a time when there is a meme stagnation, Lydia stands out with her unique humour.
– Jojo Teri
Question Mark Rampage – Most Unfunny
First Place: Aurora (39 votes)
Second Place: Zez (27 votes)
Third Place: Elite888 (20 votes)
And so, Aurora wins her third consecutive award in this gala. Reacting with the question mark emote in unfunny takes has become a tradition in the CPA Discord Server. And of course, Aurora’s fantastic takes – not to say otherwise – have been flooded with question marks, highlighting how questionable and unfunny some of her messages are.
– Edu14463
Multilogging Expert – Most Likely to Multilog
First Place: Prism (23 votes)
Second Place: Bestpenguin (20 votes)
Third Place: Xdemon (18 votes)
Prism… the Water Vikings staff who multilogged 2-5 accounts on many events spread throughout several months. After the deductions because of his multilogging, WV fell down spots in the Top Tens, including losing some first spots during the summer. He would definitely multilog once again if he was able to.

Billboard on the Ice – Most Shameless Self-Promoter
First Place: Scars (25 votes)
Second Place: Jojo Teri (24 votes)
Third Place: Logical (18 votes)
The “Most Shameless Self-Promoter” Award celebrates who never misses a chance to shine a spotlight on themselves, whether the moment calls for it or not. For the second time in a row, Scars earned this award. He always finds a way to promote himself in a conversation. While some find this to be funny, many others could describe it as… Annoying. Regardless, Scars surely dominates the master of drawing the attention to his name.
– Edu14463
First On Naughty List – Most Likely to Get Cancelled
First Place: Logical (26 votes)
Second Place: Edu14463 & SavageCobra (20 votes)
Third Place: Bestpenguin (19 votes)
Logical won the most likely to get cancelled award. There was a big competition for this award, with several cancellable individuals being on the list. Logical surpassed them, though and managed to win the award. The countless attempts from the Doritos to cancel him, by writing posts where they depict him as the greatest evil, helped his case.
– Jojo Teri
CPA Life Sentence – Most Likely to still be in Armies in 2030
First Place: Link3000 (31 votes)
Second Place: Lord Pain (26 votes)
Third Place: Spotty (21 votes)
It comes as no surprise that Link3000 won this award. He has been leading for so long that he outlasted several armies and even organisations. When he started leading, CPA had not even formed yet. His fourth year of leading will be completed in a bit more than four months. He definitely has one of the longest leadership tenures in the whole community’s history and definitely does not show signs of retirement.
– Jojo Teri
As the year finally comes to a close, we now have time to reflect on many special moments we had as a community. Thus, awards were given to people who made this last season a memorable one. While 2025 may have ended, we have a bright new year ahead of us, and there are still many more memories to be made. The question remains: how much will shift between now and next Summer?
Additionally, we would like to specially thank VESTA for creating these beautifully designed trophies, and Master DS for setting the branding and thumbnail for the Iceberg Jubilee. The Winter Awards would not be the same without this cherished duo. Furthermore, none of this would have been possible without the hard work of the Community Committee Heads Kazoo and Zooy, the Community Committee team, especially Tulip, Spotty, and Yeeter, and our YouTuber WilliamW2010, who recorded the full 2025 Winter Gala Ceremony. Thank you all for your hard work.
