2024 Theme Park Enthusiasts Awards

[New display name]

This is the inaugural, maybe/probably last, Australian 2024 Theme Park Enthusiasts Awards.

Let’s keep it simple.

Copy & paste nominated categories.

Nominate one choice for each category.

Nominations outside of Australia will not be counted.

After 2 weeks, all nominations will be counted and the top 3 of each category will be voted on.

Don't forget people, Australia wide, not just the Gold Coast.

The award for each category winner, is knowing you won.
