The Community Industry Awards (CIA's)

What it does

The Community Industry Awards celebrate the achievements of the best in the community industry. We are putting the spotlight on the highest performing community professionals and communities in the world.

Celebrate excellence in community building with the CMX Awards—recognizing leaders and teams shaping the future of communities.

Our awards program has three main stages: Nominations, Judging, and Voting. Here’s how it all comes together: ‍ Stage 1: Nominations ‍ Anyone can submit a nomination—whether it’s for a peer, a boss, or even themselves! You can submit as many nominations for as many people as you’d like. However, keep in mind that multiple nominations for the same person do not increase their chances of moving forward. Once a nomination is submitted, the nominee has the opportunity to accept it. Any duplicate nominations are consolidated, and any that go unaccepted are forfeited. When a nominee accepts, they’ll provide additional details on how they or their community team demonstrated success over the past…from cmxhub.com

  Angeldust – a fast and efficient video game▲716

  After years of solo development I'm presenting: Angeldust, an omni-compatible action RPG and building game! Website: http://angeldu.st My single server hosts 250+K active players in one giant, dynamic fantasy world. Angeldust's game server is pervasively multithreaded, implementing John Carmack's dream of processing an immutable world state each tick. Both world handling and network traffic routing uses any number of threads. For networking, a typical game session only uses ~3Kbps of bandwidth, enabling decent play even over 2G/EDGE networks.
