Category awards were decided by a combination of public voting and the 2026 adjudication panel. The Special Recognition award is chosen by Twisted, separately from the judged categories. The Phoenix Rising (Michael Steward) joined the adjudication panel for 2027 and was not involved in judging the 2026 awards.
