Hi everybody. Today I'm coming with an honest apology for all of you who are waiting so long for the Community Awards 2008 winner's announcement. Due to a lot of unforeseen circumstances around the ARMA 2 release, the whole event ran into very serious delays. I would like to say again I'm terribly sorry for this unforgivable hold up and please, don't blame my dear colleague Mr. Placebo for it as the awards were a team effort.

Final voting for the competition itself closed May 12th 2009 to find the 6 Community Award winners for their community works they did for or with ARMA: Armed Assault. We have also selected 5 random names/emails from the list of voters who will also obtain some prizes.

Congratulations to all winners!

Don't forget, most of them are whole teams of people who spent so much time and effort to bring something new, something useful, something very unique for other people to play with. These are the heart of the community that we in Bohemia Interactive are so proud of.

I believe the fact that they have been chosen by their peers as the best of all, must be the most satisfaction for these people. However, we have prepared some prizes for them just as a way for us to say THANK YOU:
ARMA 2 T-shirt, Map of Chernarus poster (A1 size), Postcards from Chernarus, ARMA2 Soundtrack CD, ARMA2 bag, ARMA2 wallet, ARMA2 posters etc. Last but not least, here are the 5 lucky people who voted for winners and who were selected randomly to win special prizes: Alex[dev]72, Big, Kadel, sisco, Pelzgurke
