In 2007, ChessMess, from the popular but now closed Star Trek Gaming site “StarTrek-Games.com” launched the first Star Trek Gaming Players Choice Awards ceremony which served to honour and celebrate the best aspects of Star Trek Gaming from all over the world. 

The event was a huge success attracting members of the Star Trek Gaming community to come together and vote for the best of the best and in January 2009, the 2nd Players Choice Awards commenced celebrating the best of Star Trek Gaming in 2008.

So it’s with great honour that here in January 2010, Hailing Frequency keeps the torch alight with the commencement of the 3rd Annual Star Trek Gaming Players Choice Awards!

There is no greater honour or accolade in the Star Trek Gaming Community than to be recognized by your fellow gamers/peers for your work and this year, we have more categories than ever to ensure that members from the entire community receive the credit they deserve!

For the next seven (7) days, you, as members of the Star Trek Gaming community, will be able to nominate your favourite Star Trek games, mods, models, clans, guilds, fan games, podcasts, video casts and more! 

If you are a member of one of the many Star Trek Gaming websites that exist, BC-Central, BCFiles, ArmadaFiles, ChrisJonesGaming, FleetOps...the list goes on - we'd appreciate you posting news about the awards on your website!
