COMMUNITY AWARDS

The Community awards, held exclusively during the Summer and Winter, serve to highlight important figures and moments that have shaped the community throughout the first half and the end of the year. These awards recognize a range of individuals, including armies, league staff, army staff members, leaders, and more. With votes chosen by the community itself, the awards carry great significance. For those recognized, they symbolize the impact they’ve made and the lasting contributions they’ve offered to the community. The individuals honored are some of the most influential figures, and the awards celebrate those who have left a meaningful mark.

Summer Awards

2024

BEST MAJOR ARMY LEADER

The summer of 2024 has been full of war, scandal, and many challenges. However, despite every challenge thrown their way, Ugly was able to use any and every setback as motivation. Most notably, their 104 battle war with the Elite Guardians shows the lengths he is willing to go to prove himself as a leader and to win a war against one of their greatest rivals. In addition, he has earned the prestigious Silver Medal of Honor from ACP’s Hall of Fame. Furthermore, he has been able to help the army reach the top spot in the Top Tens multiple times. Undoubtedly, his efforts have made a significant impact on his army.

~Coolguy

Biggest Army

The past few months for the Army of Club Penguin have been unprecedented. From their war win against the Elite Guardians to their placements within the Top Ten, they have continued to fight for the top spot within the army community. The recent leadership was formed earlier in the year when Ugly was promoted to Leader in February. In June, Ugly inducted Roxy into the army’s leadership as they aimed to make the army even stronger. Despite the setbacks, they have risen up and retained the ‘Biggest Army’ award, showing their strength and resilience.

~Coolguy

Best Small/medium army leader

Following their return to the community in December 2023, the Winged Hussars have been a consistent presence in the community. While the Hussars have said farewell to leaders since opening, one leader who remained was Shinzo. Under Shinzo’s leadership, the army has participated in multiple wars and remained resilient despite their recent loss to the Secret Service. They have been a consistent part of the Top Ten, competing with other SM armies and remaining on the CPA map. Alongside his role as a leader, he has made himself known to the community with his knowledge on display within the media department.

~Coolguy

Most tactical army

When talking about the most tactical army, fewer words are needed when the Army of Club Penguin is involved. While the army was not able to go back-to-back in the Legends Cup, they have proceeded to defy the community’s wildest imaginations. With the 104 battle war that took place against EGCP, their war against the Vikings and even their offensive on SWAT, they have proven that they are still a force within the community. Despite earning this trophy last year, many doubts were continuously placed on the army as others rose up within the community. Yet, ACP has continued to fight, most notably, outlasting and beating one of the strongest armies within the community.

~Coolguy

Best Higher Command

Whilst leaders are given the spotlight, armies cannot turn a blind eye to the hard-working individuals within the high ranks. These people work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure a bright future for the army, assisting the leaders while guiding those beneath. Without their presence the army’s condition would be much more different, thus making their position an important part of armies. The Army of Club Penguin’s Third in Command, Noa, managed to fit the description perfectly as she proved she plays a valuable role in the success of ACP and their future.

~Ugly

Most Achieved

Individuals in the army community who are highly accomplished are often seen as strong leaders with a solid work ethic, recognized by the community. These individuals help shape the community, expressing strong opinions and ensuring their voices are well heard. Their leadership and dedication play a large role in the community. Since the beginning of his career, Army of Club Penguin Leader, Ugly, has faced numerous challenges, just like any other new army leader. He is known for his perseverance and readiness to defend his nation. Most recently, in the Centenary Solstice War, despite facing over 100 battles and being ones declared upon, Ugly never gave up. He continuously pushed his army to new heights, ultimately leading to a Clover victory.

~Mare

Biggest retirement

As these two individuals stepped down from their positions, they left behind a lasting legacy, renowned for their remarkable achievements. Coolguy, retiring from the Army of Club Penguin, was not only highly respected within the army but also admired across the entire community for his strong leadership. Under his command, the army secured major victories, including the prestigious Legends Cup XIII trophy, the Trick or Treat Trials, and the 2024 New Year Bonanza trophy. Each victory highlights the great success the army achieved under his leadership. Since stepping into the Administration role for Club Penguin Armies, Mchappy has consistently delivered excellence while maintaining stability within the community. He has hosted a variety of tournaments, both traditional and innovative, including events like Around the World Cup, Double Deck the Halls, Trick or Treat Trials, and a newly formatted Legends Cup, as well as Aces of AUSIA, all created by Mchappy. Additionally, Mchappy has published numerous posts to keep the media team active and played a large role in the ongoing success of the CPA league today.

~Mare

Biggest rise

Despite only reviving in July, the Secret Service have proved themselves as a force to be reckoned with within the army community. Their revival alone on July 7 shocked the community as the Service maxed 41 penguins. Not only this but they managed to obtain third place on the Top Ten. Following their revival, they managed to gain major army status just three weeks later. Despite losing a war to the Sapphire Concordat during the three weeks, their motivation to succeed only grew. Recently, they won a war against both the Winged Hussars and Templars. In the last week of August, they managed to gain the top spot in the Tens. Undoubtedly, their rise is the biggest of the summer. Even with all their accomplishments, perhaps the best is yet to come.

~Coolguy

biggest Conflict

Undoubtedly, the talk of the summer has been the Centenary Solstice War which took place between the Elite Guardians and ACP. The two armies are no stranger to war. Since the Guardians’ revival in 2023, the two have had a handful of conflicts. The rivalry has been one of the hottest within the community which never seems to cool down. If the rivalry alone was not enough, the 104 battles that took place in this back-and-forth war made it one of the longest we have seen. Not many people can say they have seen a war quite like this one. Therefore, it has made its mark in history alongside those who led during it.

~Coolguy

Most Controversial Moment

Summer within the army community has been filled with many big moments. However, amongst these big moments have been scandals. When popular figures are “exposed” for things that have happened in the past (or present) it shakes the foundation of the community. During their war against the Templars, the Secret Service released a series of posts exposing Xing’s past relations. They claimed that Xing victimised, manipulated and exploited another individual while also exposing himself to them. The series of posts released by both SS and Templars explored what happened during this time, a few years ago. The posts shocked the entire community, leaving many questions and the community split.

~Coolguy

Best Writer

One of the most crucial roles in the community is within the media department. This team consistently delivers new posts and materials to ensure the army community is updated with the latest news. Being a Reporter is vital to the league, as this role ensures that the community stays informed and connected. Edu is an individual who effortlessly writes to full perfection and consistently delivers content to the army league. He continues to go above and beyond creating new content to ensure everyone remains engaged with the latest topics.

~Mare

Post of the summer

Club Penguin Armies strives to provide the most up-to-date news. Over the summer, the league experienced a major change when an Administrator retired, prompting a transition to a new Administration. One of the biggest posts of the summer was The Retirement of Mchappy, written by former Chief Executive Producer Mchappy. The post thoroughly reflects on the highlights and journey of his time in the league. This post became one of the most popular ones within the community, making it now the post of the summer.

~Mare

Best Graphic Designer

When times were tough for the CPA graphics department due to a lack of designers, Edu did not hesitate to lend a helping hand. Despite his busy schedule as a reporter, he took on the task of designing the most breathtaking and fun thumbnails to accompany CPA posts when the team was at its lowest point. His dedication and talent are the reasons why he was named “Best Graphic Designer!”

~Master DS

Best JUDGE

Rarity first joined the CPAJ team back in June 2023, and since then they have been an extremely active member of our team, having accepted over 80 battles, and helping to ensure that all battles go ahead. Rarity can often be found in our judging chats checking battle availability and helping newer judges fit into our team. Without a doubt, Rarity deserves the title of Best Judge.

~Spotty

Best moderator

Zooy has been a moderator within CPArmies for around 4 months now. It is very notable that Zooy is a huge figure within CPArmies, especially with moderation, community games and his wonderful art. He has done many great things within the moderation department and has been an enjoyable moderator to work with. While also having such great confidence in his duty and openly creating discussions which allow other moderators to contribute and express their opinions on certain matters, I give great congratulations to the best moderator Zooy!

~Aisha

Best top ten committee member

Ugly has been part of the Top Ten Committee since last summer, and from the beginning he proved himself to be a hardworking member. Despite his busy schedule as an army leader, he helps out almost every single week and sometimes can go above and beyond by picking up extra assignments if help is needed. He has been very receptive to feedback, both positive and negative which has helped him grow into his position and be able to improve as a team member. I would like to congratulate him on this achievement and I’m excited to see more of him as part of the team.

~Link3000

Best community committee member

Edu and Spotty have been extremely beneficial to the Community Committee team, consistently delivering creative ideas to help improve the department. These two individuals are always lending a hand to ensure that everything remains afloat and are actively involved in creating polls and games to keep the army community engaged. Both are devoted members of the department and made large contributions, especially throughout the Summer Gala.

~Mare

Best Youtuber

Lady Eden is an integral member of the CPA YouTube team. Taking the time to record, stream, and edit numerous videos during the Legends Cup, her dedication is unmatched. Between recording and editing, Lady Eden helped produce 7 videos for the department during the tournament alone. It’s a pleasure to work with her and it’s no surprise she won this award.

~Flypin1

Community sweetheart

Some may ask “What determines who a community sweetheart is?”. Well, look no further because Elsa is the prime example of this. They are someone who is well-liked throughout the community. They actively show their support for their allies, their friends and their armies. Their passion is unmatched and they care a hell of a lot about the people within the community. When times are tough, they will be there to show you their support. This is why Elsa is the Community Sweetheart

~Coolguy

Brightest Bulb

Perhaps one of the most anticipated awards is the brightest bulb. However, the summer has seen many people within the community earn this title at one time or another, unofficially. It is because of this that the entire community has been voted as the brightest bulb. While this may make people cringe and cry out for a real winner, the entire community needs to brighten up if they do not want to win this award the next time the award ceremony rolls around.

~Coolguy

2023

Biggest Army

As anticipated by many, the Army of Club Penguin has secured the vast majority of votes. Their journey from a small/medium army to major status and their victory in this year’s Legends Cup under the leadership of Calgocubs, Coolguy, and AustinFraud can only be described as impressive. Although it’s been almost a year since ACP regained their major title, their constantly growing maxes, consistent top spots on Top Ten Armies, and their exceptional performance in wars and tournaments have rightfully earned them this prestigious award.

~ Wynn

BEST MAJOR ARMY LEADER

It’s not surprising that the longest-serving leader of the army that won the Biggest Army Award has been recognized with this honor. Calgocubs has led the Army of Club Penguin for eleven months, with the majority of that time as the sole leader. Under his leadership this year, ACP secured the 1st position on the Top Ten ranking eight times, engaged in five wars, and emerged as the champions of Legends Cup XIII. His efforts have had a significant impact on the entire community, helping to keep it dynamic and vibrant over the past eight months.

~ Wynn

BEST SMALL/MEDIUM ARMY LEADER

Third year in a row, the Best Small/Medium Army Leader title has been awarded to Legoman for his service in Special Weapons and Tactics. Under his leadership, the army remained major for seven months this year only, engaged in eight wars, and participated in four tournaments. Despite SWAT having multiple enemies, Legoman managed to keep his army high in the Top Ten Ranking consistently during the first months of the year, even reaching the top spot in April. Just like Xing and Templars in 2022, Legoman and Special Weapons and Tactics have contributed to keeping the Club Penguin armies community alive and booming with activity.

~ Wynn

MOST TACTICAL ARMY

The Most Tactical Army Award is more than just about the size or how often an army engages in wars. It’s about the ability to fight effectively and emerge victorious, and this description certainly fits the Army of Club Penguin. They participated in five conflicts this year, securing victory in four and tying one. Additionally, their impressive performance in tournaments, including winning Legends Cup XIII, cannot be overlooked. ACP’s skillful and battle-experienced leaders have rightfully earned this award for their army.

~ Wynn

BEST HIGHER COMMAND

An army’s success can’t only be accredited to its leader. It’s the high command that spends tremendous efforts on serving their army day and night, being the right hand of its leader. Despite them being often unrecognized and underappreciated, an army can’t exist without higher command. It only seemed fitting that this award goes to AOL, Army of Club Penguin’s Third-in-Command, who has played a significant role in ACP’s achievements.

~ Wynn

MOST ACHIEVED

Since the time Calgocubs rejoined the army as Staff back in July last year, the Army of Club Penguin has only been on an upward curve. However, once he was appointed as the Commander of the Army last September, Calgo had taken it upon himself to make the army great once again. And so he did. Under his leadership, the Army of Club Penguin has not only dominated the Top Ten lists eight times this year but has also won the title of Legends Cup XIII and been involved in five wars that have kept the community active and engaged. As he had assured in his induction post, ” I promise that I will no longer allow ACP to fall into periods of stagnation.”, he has only contributed to the growth and rise of the army. It goes without saying that he has had a major impact in making ACP what it is currently. We commend all the hard work and dedication that he has put into his army, in these eleven months, and would like to congratulate him on his award!

~ Disha

Biggest RETIREMENT

First place: Xing (105 votes)

Second place: Coolguy (66 votes)

Third place: Scorpion Demon (28 votes)

4th: Cabin (25 votes), 5th: Desireus (19 votes), 6th: Logical (7 votes)

Xing retired at the very beginning of the year, soon after winning Person of The Year Title second time in a row. His departure had a huge impact not only on Templars, who fell to small/medium status shortly after, but also on the whole community. During his leadership, he kept the community alive and dynamic with multiple conflicts and secured the Legends Cup XII trophy for his army. The multilogging accusations against Templars, which were a hot topic for weeks, only confirmed how impactful TCP was at that time.

~ Wynn

Biggest RISE

BEST CONFLICT

The current year saw a big movement from 2022 as more wars started to take place regularly. However, picking the best conflict wasn’t a hard choice. While there were many amazing conflicts, there could only be one winner. The winner, of course, was World War IX which involved most of the community. The war began with Elite Guardians, Rebel Penguin Federation, and Water Vikings declaring war on the Army of Club Penguin only to be met with more declarations from armies wanting to aid ACP. A number of 32 battles took place, making it one of the biggest wars of the year. Ultimately, there was no winner as both sides agreed to end the conflict after such a large amount of gruelling battles.

~ Coolguy

MOST CONTROVERSIAL MOMENT

The Ice Warriors’ Scandal shook the entire community and held everyone’s attention for weeks. The exposé against some of the IW’s staff and leaders resulted in numerous retirements and eventually led to the army’s shutdown. With the echoes of the controversy still reverberating, it’s no surprise that the Ice Warriors Scandal has won this category.

~ Wynn

BEST WRITER

Media serves a crucial and important role in our organization. Our Reporting and Editing team is not only dedicated and hard-working but is committed to delivering the constant happenings in and around the community, keeping all of us informed with the news. Since the day Coolguy has joined us, he has lived up to his roles and responsibilities, be it as a Reporter, or an Editor. Back in January, when he had started out as a Reporter, he was one of the most active people on the team – pitching in with his ideas for news topics, and always willing to help out. Hence it was no surprise that he joined the Editor Team within just a month.

It has been a pleasure for us to witness his growth and progress here, and we are grateful for his hard work and efforts for this organization. With a total of 49 posts under his belt now, and serving as the current head of the team, he is definitely deserving of this award, and we would like to congratulate him on the same!

~ Disha

POST OF THE SUMMER

The army community is often surrounded by controversy and drama. Club Penguin Armies does its best to cover all the news as soon as it happens. Arguably one of the most controversial moments of the summer took place shortly after the conclusion of World War IX as RPF mistakenly broke their peace treaty. The post was written by Chief Executive Producer Wynn as she aimed to cover what happened and how. Because of the nature of the post, it was certainly popular within the community, making it the post of the summer.

~ Coolguy

BEST GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Every tournament in the CPA community would not be complete without awesome graphics to echo the hype of battles. From major to small tournaments, Dino is someone you can always count on to deliver the best quality art. Christmas Chaos, March Madness, Ausia Arena, and even Beach Brawl III, all of these have passed under the stroke of his pen and turned into memorable works of art that embody the spirit of the community. His talent, artistic vision, and highly-detailed results have earned Dino the title of “Best Graphics Designer”.

~ Master DS

BEST JUDGE

Mads joined the CPAJ judging team in January 2023 and since then they have been an active and valuable member to the team. Mads can often be found showing their support for others in judge chat, in addition to ensuring that battles go ahead with the required number of judges. They have also demonstrated numerous times their ability as a judge with their punctuality, professional manners, and constant support which is demonstrated when they judge battles, and support other judges in the organisation.

~ Spotty

BEST MODERATOR

BEST TOP TEN COMMITTEE MEMBER

Top Ten Committee is a team that cannot operate to its full potential without the help of its members and both Alemax and Mogi are great examples of that. Since they were selected to be part of the team, they have shown great dedication and eagerness to help out. From making sure their assignments were done correctly and on time, to offering to help out beyond what they were asked to do, helping out pretty much every week, and just overall being extremely dependable staff members. We are glad their hard work has been recognised and we have been very grateful to have them on our teams.

~ Link3000

BEST COMMUNITY COMMITTEE MEMBER

Community committee is the heart of fun in club penguin communities providing both thought-provoking polls and competitive games. Throughout the year Iz has proven to be a reliable member of the team hosting polls and games consistently and has proved to be a real key member of the team definitely earning her the title of “Best Community Committee”.

~ Caitlin

BEST YOUTUBER

The YouTube department is responsible for documenting army events, wars, and tournaments. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to look back at important battles, and also some battle reviews couldn’t happen. Ever since Da Best joined the YouTube team he has been recording big battles such as the Legends Cup finals and some war battles, as well as editing some videos. Da Best is dedicated to the team and has done a lot, which is why they deserve this award.

~ Mogi4

2022

Biggest Army

The Templars have constantly proved that they are not an army to be overlooked, when they claimed the top spot in the Top Ten Armies for the first time in 2021. Since then they have only grown stronger, earlier this year the community witnessed the achieved of a new Top Ten Record as the Templars observed their 33rd week at number one. Without a doubt the Templars have definitely dominated the year so far, through their extraordinary sizes and constant wars, helping to solidify them as the Biggest Army of Summer 2022.

~ Spotty 

Best Major Army Leader

After being crowned 2021 Person of the Year, Xing has had quite the eventful year. He not only managed to set a new Top Ten record of 33 weeks at number one, he has also reached an incredible size of 74. Additionally, Xing has led the Templars to war 7 times this year, the most noticeable being the Summer Sovereignty war against the Rebel Penguin Federation in July. From confirming TCP’s place as number one, to expanding alliances and keeping the community alive with constant wars, Xing has definitely earned his title of Best Leader.

~ Spotty 

Best S/M Army Leader

Legoman first joined the Special Weapons and Tactics back in 2020 after the merge of Island Invaders. His career in SWAT started off at full-speed due to the Flash Nemesis War. Months later on February 7th 2021, Legoman was officially inducted as the 71st SWAT leader. His hard work did not end there, as he became well-known in the community for his recruitment skills. In addition, he helped lead the army in multiple tournaments such as March Madness, and wars including “Operation: Templaria”, in 2021.  A year after his induction, Legoman suddenly left SWAT with a recruit count of over 2000. However, in May 2022, he once again rejoined the leadership, playing a huge part in helping Special Weapons and Tactics to reach second place in the Top Ten Armies, as well as gaining Major Army Status. Although recently he has suddenly departed from the army, due to unknown circumstances. Legoman’s famous recruiting and battle skills helped him to secure the title of “Best S/M Leader”.

~ Spotty 

Best Higher Command

Yvng Baller joined the Rebel Penguin Federation in May of 2020, during the peak of COVID. He quickly rose through the ranks earning himself a place on the moderator team, then later High Command in Fall 2021. From his dedicated recruiting skills and positive attitude, he became well known amongst RPF troops and staff. Now at the rank of Second in Command, Yvng is one of the community’s Head Judges and supports RPF’s US division. On top of that he also participates in RPF’s broadcast, contests, graphic design, and podcast teams. As a well-rounded staff member, Yvng surely earned his place as Best Higher Command.

~ Crazzy

Most Achieved

Since creating the Templars in 2018, Xing has never shied away from war and only dreamt of success for his army. His role during the creation of Club Penguin Armies ensured that every army, regardless of size, had a vote for administration. Being a part of every war this summer, Xing has taken CP warfare to a new level, preventing community stagnation, and his efforts this summer have earned him the title of “Most Achieved.

~ Comedy

Biggest Retirement

As the leader and creator of the Ice Warriors, Iceyfeet1234 has been involved with the army since their creation in 2007. He first led the Ice Warriors until 2012, thriving in tournaments and winning the Legends Cup twice during his reign of five years. After returning to lead the Ice Warriors in 2020, the army continued to grow under Iceyfeet’s leadership with a max of 165+ during the March Madness tournament the year of his return. Following his retirement event on August 8, 2022, Iceyfeet plans to continue helping out the community if asked but won’t be around as much anymore. Due to his influences and many achievements since his return, Iceyfeet wins the award of Biggest Retirement and will surely be missed.

~ Caramel

Biggest Rise

After two months of inactivity, the Special Weapons and Tactics returned to the community with a vengeance in May. Since then, they have been on an upward trajectory, only increasing in size and promise. Although controversy has followed them, beginning with CPForever, SWAT has proven it can be successful. On August 14, the agents placed second on the weekly Top Ten, its highest placement in recent years, and promoted to Major Army, a first since 2021. Despite the current situation that befalls the agents, their accomplishments this summer make them deserving of the Biggest Rise.

Best Conflict

The Summer Sovereignty War lasted five days, from July 29th to August 2nd. The Templars declared war on the Rebel Penguin Federation, stating the Rebels’ reluctance to engage in practice battles and constantly trash-talking the Empire. However, as per Club Penguin Army tradition, controversy surrounded the war even before the battles officially began. On July 29th, the Rebel Penguin Federation spoke against the Templars, expressing that the Knights broke a term. The Rebels alleged the Templars received land from the Ninjas and Red Ravagers after the declaration, directly violating the terms of war. The army league board voted upon the allegation, resulting in the administration deciding and unanimously voting to continue the war.

A week later, the war officially commenced, with the Templars successfully defending their land. However, the opening battle marked the Templars’ only victory; losing the next nine. Five days later, the war ended with the ‘Invasion of Rome’ as just four Templars attended. Hours later, both armies signed a treaty, concluding the Summer Sovereignty War with a score of 9-0-1 in favor of the Rebel Penguin Federation.

~ Spotty 

Most Controversial Moment

The Templars declared war on the Rebel Penguin Federation on July 17. However, the Rebels deduced that the Templars had broken their own war terms by accepting land transfers. While the Templars claimed that the transfers occurred 20 seconds before the war declaration was posted, the Rebels argued that the terms were said to have gone into effect after the draft which concluded six minutes prior to the transfers. As a result of arguments from both sides, the Army League Board voted on the matter which resulted in a tie. The administration team then voted and unanimously decided that the war was valid. Following the first invasion on July 29 by the Rebel Penguin Federation, the two armies continued to battle it out ten times total with nine of them ending as victories for the Rebels. On August 2, the Templars surrendered and both armies agreed to the terms of the Summer Sovereignty Treaty.

~ Caramel

Best Reporter

The reporting team at CP Armies play a crucial role in the organisation, and are definitely underrated. They work continuously to ensure that the community is kept up to date with the constant news. Disha first joined the reporting team back in the Summer of 2021, in Club Penguin Army Headquarters, where she was later promoted to Editor-in-Chief. Ever since Disha has joined the team, she has always been one of our most eager team members, as she is always ready to help write or edit a post. She is one of our most experienced editors, with a total of 61 posts under her belt, including her popular column, Positivitea. Disha is a much loved member of our media team, and she certainly is a well-deserving of being awarded “Best Reporter”.

~ Spotty

Post of the Summer

Since its inception in July, CPA has generated a lot of buzz through its diverse news and editorials. Given this summer’s Best Conflict and Most Controversial Moment, it goes without saying the Post of the Summer is awarded to ActionSpark’s in-depth reporting of the initial Summer Sovereignty saga. “Templars Declare War on Rebel Penguin Federation, Dispute Ensues Over Server Transfers” was an evolving story that put Action on the spot to deliver the most accurate news to the community. Its analysis of the flurry of articles between the Templars and Rebel Penguin Federation broke down the situation’s complexity, serving as a summary for board votes and final administrative decisions.

~ Comedy

Best Graphics Designer

~ Dino

Best Judge

Without the constant commitment from judges, the community’s tournaments, battles, and wars would not be able to go ahead. Throughout the past year Comedy has definitely proven that she is one of the best judges within the community. During the Summer Sovereignty War, Comedy could be found regularly judging the 8pm EST battles, helping to ensure that the war ran smoothly without any hiccups. With her prompt timing, eagerness, and highly-detailed results, it can be said for sure that Comedy definitely deserves the title of “Best Judge”.

~ Spotty

Best Head Judge

Head Judge is far from an easy position. Not only are they responsible for creating judging guidelines and hiring new judges, but they are also the go-between for the community and those who judge them. Spotty separated herself from her fellow judges and worked tirelessly to reunite the judging teams from CPAN and CPAHQ into the now CPAJ. This summer, her efforts have ensured a ready supply of judges for Beach Brawl and the many ensuing wars. Given her active involvement behind-the-scenes and CPA Judges being her brainchild, it is no surprise that Spotty was voted “Best Head Judge” for the third time in a row.

Best Chief Executive Producer

Spotty first joined the media team back in Club Penguin Army Headquarters in Autumn 2021. After joining the Club Penguin Army Headquarters in December of 2021, Spotty received a promotion to Associate Director, her first administration role within a league. Additionally, alongside Max, she was promoted to Vice Director in May of 2022, and was recognized by DMT for her potential and “rare drive to get things done in the community”. Following the merge into Club Penguin Armies, Spotty became one of the Chief Executive Producers, alongside her roles of Head Judge and Community Committee member. Throughout her time as a member of the administration, Spotty’s efforts and many contributions such as planning important events have earned her the title of Best Chief Executive Producer.

~ Caramel

Brightest Bulb

The award for “Brightest Bulb” is most certainly a community favourite, and it comes to no surprise that the winner is once again Da Best. Previously, he has won this award once before back in 2020. Da Best can be often found spreading his well-known love for the community and their leagues, through his penguin accounts, and in the main chat of his cherished league, CP Armies. Without a doubt he is one of the most well-known and idolized members of our community, and there is no better recipient to be awarded the “Brightest Bulb”.

– Coolguy

most tactical army

The award for the most tactical army is certainly a prestigious award for armies to win. Winning the award shows that your army has surpassed its enemies in great fashion, using strategy and skill to dominate battles. The Rebel Penguin Federation has certainly surpassed expectations this year. While it has been a quieter year in comparison to previous years for the Rebels, they have managed to display their tactical intelligence and giving their army the advantage in every battle they fight in. Whilst winning the war against Secret Service was great for the army, nothing can top their unexpected Christmas Chaos XIV win. Their tactical genius was put on display as they showed none come close to their speed, tactics, and great preparation for each and every battle.

best higher command

I first came across the existence of Kira many months ago during Secret Service, and I must say she has grown so much in every single aspect. She used to be the lurking queen, but now, she has been trained very well. It shows in several aspects including engaging with the community in and out of Doritos, recruiting and getting an insane amount of new Dorito troops accounts on CPAB. She always completes her duties extremely well while going above and beyond. Kira is definitely a reliable HCOM member, and we all cannot wait to watch her grow even more and become a great future leader. The whole of our army are extremely proud of her to be a true representation of the Doritos family and our High Command.

cOMMUNITY SWEETHEART

The army community often deals with chaos and a variety of individuals holding different opinions, making it difficult to find consensus. The competitive nature of armies can sometimes foster negativity. However, the Community Sweetheart stands out as someone who is consistently kind to everyone, demonstrating the importance of showing kindness to others regardless of their backgrounds. Congratulations, Elsa!

outspoken community member

The outspoken community member award is new to the winter awards, giving outspoken members of the community a chance to be recognized for their input and contributions to the community. Fatchicken has undoubtedly been unafraid to air his thoughts, feelings, and beliefs whether it be in his own army or in CPA’s community chat. It could be said that his outspoken nature has made him an influential figure within the community this year, making his presence known to everyone while also pushing other armies to the limits with his army, ACP.

2023

Biggest Army

Following being crowned the Biggest Army at the CPA Summer Awards, Army of Club Penguin hasn’t slowed down. Under the leadership of Calgocubs, AustinFraud, and Coolguy, ACP has consistently ranked high on the weekly Top Ten lists. They engaged in two wars against Elite Guardians, emerged victorious in the Trick or Treat Trials, and made their mark hosting community events – Battle of Newspapers and Double Deck the Halls II. Their exceptional performance over the past months has led to them securing the Biggest Army Award once again.

BEST MAJOR ARMY LEADER

According to the community’s predictions, the title of the Best Major Army Leader was awarded to the leader of ACP, following their win in the previous category. AustinFraud has been at the helm of the Army of Club Penguin for eight months, and made quite the name for himself. Since summer, his army secured victory in the Trick or Treat Trials, and kept the community active by engaging in wars, as well as hosting community wide events. It is not a surprise that AustinFraud has received an award recognized as one of the most prestigious.

~ Wynn

BEST SMALL-MEDIUM ARMY

People’s Imperial Confederation rightfully deserves the title of the Best Small-Medium Army, being not only one of the most consisted s/m armies this year, but also regularly engaging in wars and building alliances. Thanks to the efforts of its leaders, Sidie, Shallissa, Alucard and Sweater the community has remain active and PIC is an army to be reckoned with.

~ Wynn

BEST SMALL-MEDIUM ARMY LEADER

Alucard is a new face that has taken the small-medium army community by storm thanks to his work in the People’s Imperial Confederation. Under his leadership, the army remained a major factor in community dynamics despite not maxing the largest numbers. Additionally, People’s Imperial Confederation have slowly become one of the longest standing small-medium armies in the new generation, thus warranting his dedication earning reward.

~ Mchappy

MOST TACTICAL ARMY

The Most Tactical Army Award is more than just about the size or how often an army engages in wars. It’s about the ability to fight effectively and emerge victorious, and this description certainly fits the Army of Club Penguin. They participated in five conflicts this year, securing victory in four and tying one. Additionally, their impressive performance in tournaments, including winning Legends Cup XIII, cannot be overlooked. ACP’s skillful and battle-experienced leaders have rightfully earned this award for their army.

~ Wynn

Vendetta award (best tactical leader)

Considering that the ACP won the Most Tactical Army, it only makes sense that their more vocal Commander in Chief is rewarded with the Vendetta Award. AustinFraud continues to innovate on the battlefield, but on top of that, his can-do attitude is what helps propel AustinFraud as a leader that stands out.

~Mchappy

bluesockwa award (biggest influence)

It is without a doubt that Calgocubs21 has been one of the most influential voices of the season, if not the year in general. Retiring in early October, Calgocubs21 stayed in the foreground as a voice that advocated for what he believed to be morally right. Many listen to his call and, for that, he has earned himself the Bluesockwa Award.

~Mchappy

csy award (best ausia empire)

Almost fitting that the Army of Club Penguin wins the CSY Award. Week after week, the Army of Club Penguin proves that having a powerful AUSIA can be unmatched. This season, they had AustinFraud who was able to put more focus into the division. Their success has been rewarded with this trophy.

~Mchappy

BEST HIGHER COMMAND

An army’s success can’t only be accredited to its leader. It’s the high command that spends tremendous efforts on serving their army day and night, being the right hand of its leader. Despite them being often unrecognized and underappreciated, an army can’t exist without higher command. It only seemed fitting that this award goes to Zoomey, Army of Club Penguin’s Second in Command, who has played a significant role in ACP’s achievements.

~ Wynn

Biggest RETIREMENT

As mentioned earlier, Calgocubs21 retired in early October. His retirement came as a shock to some considering the amount of success Army of Club Penguin had been seeing at the hands of his leadership.

~ Wynn

underdog award (biggest rise)

Going into Christmas Chaos XIII, the Water Vikings were considered widely to be an easy out either at the hands of the Army of Club Penguin or Help Force. However, the Vikings proved everyone wrong by going on a victory streak, not losing a single room, and winning the entire tournament. For that reason, the Water Vikings truly earned their trophy.

~Mchappy

BEST CONFLICT

This conflict, known as the Christmas Crusade, is an ongoing conflict. Following the Most Controversial Moment, armies formed an alliance called the United Front Alliance to take on the Elite Guardians in an epic war that occurred over holiday break. It is still to be seen how long the conflict will go on for now that Christmas Chaos XIII has concluded.

~Mchappy

best tournament

The Christmas Chaos XIII, hosted by the Club Penguin Armies organization, received the most votes of all three tournaments held since the summer. It surely comes as no shock, considering it’s also considered by the community to be the second most prestigious tourney of the year. In December, we saw nine armies signing up for the competition. In the end, the Water Vikings were finally able to take it all the way home. It also marked the end of the Rebel Penguin Federation’s winning streak in Christmas Chaos.

~ Wynn

MOST CONTROVERSIAL MOMENT

After a few weeks of peace, the allegations against Elite Guardians and their co-creator, Edu, have shaken the community. Despite the absence of the map, the war seems far from over and has already involved six armies. The fact that the conflict began shortly before the end of the voting process, yet managed to gather the most votes, highlights its significant impact.

~ Wynn

BEST WRITER

One of the most underappreciated yet crucial roles in the community is within the media department. The Best Writer Award aims to recognize the efforts of our reporting and editing teams for their contributions over the past months. It comes as no surprise that Editor-in-Chief Coolguy has once again become the winner in this category. His role extends beyond editing others’ posts; he’s also known for his writing talents and for publishing an impressive number of opinion pieces. The CPA hopes this award serves as a proper “thank you” for all your hard work, Coolguy!

~ Wynn

POST OF THE winter

For the first time ever, the Best Post does not go to a post centered around drama. In fact, Coolguy and Fwapo reached out to community veterans to get a look on their unique perspectives on what makes the community so great. It was a refreshing post that gave us a lot to think about.

~Mchappy

BEST DESIGNER

Every tournament in the CPA community would not be complete without awesome graphics to echo the hype of battles. From major to small tournaments, Dino is someone you can always count on to deliver the best quality art. Christmas Chaos, March Madness, AUSIA Arena, and even Beach Brawl III, all of these have passed under the stroke of his pen and turned into memorable works of art that embody the spirit of the community. His talent, artistic vision, and highly-detailed results have earned Dino the title of “Best Designer.”

~ Master DS

BEST JUDGE

Da Best joined the CPAJ judging team in February 2022, and since then he has been one of the most active members of the team. Despite being our most vetoed and most argumentative judge, he has managed to judge an impressive 51 battles throughout 2023, officially making him the third most active judge of the year. He has also demonstrated numerous times his ability as a judge, ensuring that all of his battles happen with a timely manner and that all rules are followed.

~ Spotty

BEST MODERATOR

Since August 2023, AustinFraud has been a vital member of our moderation team, consistently prioritizing community safety and upholding server rules. His standout quality lies in his commendable commitment to maintaining neutrality in almost every situation, earning respect from the team. Moreover, behind the scenes, AustinFraud brings humor and a constant engagement that contributes to a positive and vibrant team dynamic.

~Mare

BEST TOP TEN COMMITTEE MEMBER

Top Ten Committee is a team that cannot operate to its full potential without the help of its members and Ugly is a great examples of that. Since they were selected to be part of the team, they have shown great dedication and eagerness to help out. From making sure their assignments were done correctly and on time, to offering to help out beyond what they were asked to do, helping out pretty much every week, and just overall being extremely dependable staff members. We are glad their hard work has been recognized and we have been very grateful to have them on our team.

~ Link3000

BEST COMMUNITY COMMITTEE MEMBER

Throughout the controversies and wars and battles that occur in the club penguin community the community committees job is to bring people together through games, polls, and ongoing activities. This year Calgocubs21 has proved his dedication to the community committee by engaging the community with his polls and providing insightful suggestions for activities throughout the seasons. Calgocubs21 has supported his CC team members as well as the CC head proving he is a team player and a great asset to this team. He has definitely earned his spot as Best Community Committee Member.

BRIGHTEST BULB

And now it is the administrators fault that Da Best wasn’t crowned the Brightest Bulb.

~ Wynn

outstanding award

The following members are staff at Club Penguin Armies that the administration wanted to give a special shout out. They are hard working individuals that we felt needed to be shouted out as, without them, our organization would not be able to function as well as it does. You are all outstanding for many and different reasons!

BEST COMMUNITY COMMITTEE MEMBERS:

Mchappy and Mogi4 have claimed the title for most active community committee members. Starting with Mchappy, he holds the record for hosting the most games and polls and has certainly been the most proactive member. As for Mogi4, he is always willing to host some of the most creative games and is always willing to give input about various events. Both Mogi and Mchappy have been key helpers in various of our community event such as the planning of our community End of the Summer Gala, Murder Mystery Halloween event, Legends Cup Trophy Collection Hunt and Christmas Chaos Bingo event. As these two have helped a lot, Purple05 and Action Spark, must also be recognized for their tremendous help and contribution towards our community wide events and to Caitlin for being the VC Queen during events and tournament season. Their contribution has not gone unnoticed. Congrats to everyone and keep up the great work!

~ DrQueen

BEST DESIGNER:

Since being promoted to Head of Branding in August, Dino has certainly claimed the title for most active designer. He has certainly gone above and beyond for CPA, helping to design our website, creating graphics for tournaments such as Legends Cup and Christmas Chaos XII. He also ensures that the graphics team continues to run smoothly and design amazing thumbnails for our posts. CPA would be lost without Dino and his amazing graphic skills!

~ Spotty

Best Judge

Sanya is a judge who often saves the day! Whether it’s a freeland invasion, war or a tournament, they would repeatedly stay up late to help, if there is no one else available. They are not only active and diligent but also very competent and that’s why Sanya was our obvious choice for the award.

We believe that Comedy is certainly a judge, who’s always both unbiased and very skillful, with a huge experience. Her support, especially during wars and tournaments, was something that the whole community relied on, which certainly is a reason to give the award to Comedy.

~ Wynn

BEST MODERATORS:

Both Mare and Sanya personified what (insert award name I assume best moderators) should be. Both of them went above and beyond with being active in main chat being readily available at all times incase people needed them to hand out punishments to those breaking the rules and perfectly vetting people when they entered the discord. The CPA community chat is much safer because of them and their actions should not go unnoticed by the community.
