C-Awards 2016

I have completed our C-Awards page. The competition for nominations has been tough! But the People's Choice Award is up for grabs for any project!! Please, vote and invite your friends to our page to vote! Last year, Tidebannan won, even though it was not nominated for any category. Furthermore, Tidebannan has gone on to become the most profitable project in IVIS history, again without having a nomination. Good luck!
