Mod of the Year

Mod DB's competition, the “Golden Spanner” award, aims to set the industry standard for innovative, high quality mods. Mods are selected through a community vote and then reviewed by staff to create the final list of winners. The competition targets all areas of modding, with different categories such as computer graphics and gameplay.
