The inaugural 2020 Competitive Fortnite Awards are upon us.
Over 30 hand-selected competitive Fortnite panelists, including commentators, coaches, media and personalities have combined to bring fans the first-ever 2020 Competitive Awards. The competitive scene continued to thrive in the popular Battle Royale title’s third year of release in unimaginable ways. COVID-19 solidified an online-only environment for competitive play, which opened the floodgates for established players and unrecognized talents looking to make a name for themselves. Last year featured countless Cash Cups, third-party tournaments and four seasonal Fortnite Champion Series (FNCS) events to fill the void of no offline competitions. The 2020 Competitive Awards aim to highlight the best players, teams, coaches, organizations, casters and more!

2020 Competitive Awards Process
30+ panelists have been chosen to submit nominations and participate in the voting process. Panelists are non-players (similar to traditional sports award voting), consisting of coaches, casters, analysts, media members and more. The panel vote counts for 75% of the 10 Awards listed below. The other 25% comes from the community vote. The 2020 Competitive Awards community vote will occur across multiple mediums.
You will be able to vote on r/FortniteCompetitive, @CompAwards on Twitter, and Google forms that creators will share across numerous social media platforms. The community vote controls 25% of the 10 main awards and completely decides the eight community awards. Here are the key dates and voting periods for both the primary awards and community awards.
- Panelist vote takes place Jan 8 to Jan 15
- Community vote takes place Jan 15 to Jan 22
