The TWIPY Pinball Awards: A CELEBRATION OF THE HOBBY

This Week in Pinball and the TWIPY Committee are excited to announce the seventh annual TWIPY Pinball Awards will be taking place again next March 2024 at the Texas Pinball Festival! The TWIPYs are an annual celebration of the pinball hobby, where the public votes for their favorite games, mods, locations, and content creators of the year. This year, we’re introducing a few small changes including a streamlined voting period and a couple of new award categories. There will only be one voting period (no pre-vote) which runs from December 18th, 2023 through January 15th, 2024.

This year’s TWIPYs will be hosted by two well-respected personalities in the pinball world, Imoto Arcade and Macho Pinball himself, Lucas Pepke. The awards show will include celebrities, many well-known pinball personalities, and Slim Jims. More information on the awards show will be coming soon.

TWIPY COMMITTEE

The TWIPY Committee returns, and this year it is comprised of Steve Bowden, Imoto Harney, Josh Sharpe, Lloyd Olson, Colin Alsheimer, Joel Reeves, and led by William Oetting. The Committee is responsible for determining game eligibility and categories, show and schedule coordination, and most importantly, maintaining the integrity of the voting process through our online secure voting process, and helping review and validate votes and results.
