Going Medieval Reddit Awards 2024! Vote below

Welcome to the first Going Medieval Reddit Awards for 2024! We will be going over a wonderful year of bases; large, small, wet and tall.

The Awards are purely for ego boosting and to look through the awesome creative ability of the Going Medieval Community. Please don't be alarmed if your awesome castle is not included, there are only so many I can pick.

How will this work?

There are a few categories included. The first are chosen by me (yes, how democratic);

Best castle built with a water feature
Safest looking castle
Cosiest looking castle
Scariest looking castle
Different-est (!) looking castle
And the top 5 upvoted castles of the year.

Finally, linked below will be the 5 nominated (by me, again...) castles for Best Castle of the Year 2024 - voted by you! (Democracy!). Please vote for your favourites at the bottom.
Without further ado...
