Every year, publishers submit six copies of their finest product to the ENnies for consideration. But there are only five judges. What happens to the extra copy? It's used to help defray costs of running the ENnie Awards. The minimum bid is well under what you could pay on Amazon, and the funds go to a worthy cause- so bid on some awesome gaming material!

Organizing and presenting an annual award ceremony incurs a lot of costs. Fortunately our sponsors, EN World and Gen Con LLC, defray much of them. But they can't cover every penny spent, and those copper pieces really add up, especially when we're trying to increase the visibility of the Awards at Gen Con Indy, in trade magazines, and with retailers. Thanks to this year's corporate partner, DriveThru RPG and their financial and in-kind support, participating publishers have enjoyed greater visibility, and fans interested in buying nominated products have been able to do so at discounted rates. Best of all, the ENnies' descent into the pit trap of debt has been slowed. Unfortunately, though, with the costs of booth dressing, shipping, medals, trophies, and advertising, we're still looking at a shortfall of approximately $2,000, and on-going costs every year of about $1,000, hence the necessity for these fund raisers.
