Today's important news. Time for the 4th Annual Imp Awards! Impys is our annual event where we celebrate the best work done at Dreams over the past year and the amazing community in and around it. We opened nominations in November, and many of you submitted your favorite works, authors, and community members for award consideration in 23 categories. Have fun with it!
We are gearing up for a wonderful awards ceremony on Sunday March 26th at 9:00am PST / 5:00pm GMT. Announcing this year's Impy Awards winners. Some are judged by us with the help of friends in the creative industry, and some are voted on by the public. (Learn more about voting.)
How cool is exaggeration, you ask? Well, we couldn't find the perfect venue for this year's awards ceremony, as some venues have strict safety rules around fire monsters and giant flesh (yeah, no fun these days). So we just created ourselves at Dreams. In fact, the entire archipelago. Here's a quick look at some of the virtual bands we'll be streaming live:
"peak". Because of the mountains? ... wow what a tough crowd. Well, more here.
We thought we'd take advantage of all that extra space by turning this year's Impys season into a multi-day festival and bringing virtual worlds and our real selves together. Ahead of the main awards ceremony on March 26th, we'll be hosting several Nomi Nations live streams on our Twitch channel. We have a variety of events on the schedule, from behind-the-scenes interviews with developers and artists in the community to live music shows, highlights from the past year, and more.
Our first Impys Road broadcast of the year starts today. Join us on Twitch at 9:00am / 5:00pm GMT as we celebrate Dreams' third birthday by looking back at the past year and hosting a special community quiz.
In the meantime, if you're looking to own a coveted Nomi Nations property, why not take part in Dreams' newest community challenge by setting up your very own floating island? Imagine what you can build in your paradise! Frog pool with lemonade. Seventeen cars! Another similar island, but smaller. The possibilities are truly endless. Visit the DreamShaping homepage to get started with one of our easy-to-use island templates. We'll showcase your creations in-game and of course test them live on Impys.
However, it is time to leave the clouds and return to Earth. Meet the incredible Dream Makers and creators who were finalists at the 4th Annual Impy Awards.
Before we get to the point, let's make a point. The following categories are voted on by the community, meaning the winner is decided by all judges with good taste.

- The most useful dreamer
- Opening of the dreamer:
- Star organization:
