Community Contribution Awards:

Attila Baranyay and Daniel ‘Spoony’ Finegan

These are awarded to those that put great and often unsung effort to the community, without whose work events like BAM would be impossible. These awards are voted on by the CW committee and by the players themselves. Attila stood up as a member of the Smash Bros. scene, pushing for greater ties between Smash players and CW, and brought the greatest turnout of Smash players in BAM history. Spoony’s long-term contribution behind the scenes at BAM and other Melbourne FGC events in the past few years has made this award a long time coming.
