It's that time of the year again, the time of celebration! Here, we honor the writers, staff, and contributors who have done their part to enhance The 'Shroom. We want to credit people who not only helped The 'Shroom throughout the year, but also have been dedicated to help shape this community project into what it is. As usual, all of the awards are split into Diamond and Golden awards; Diamond awards are for exceptional performance in each category, while Golden awards are for those who didn't quite reach the top of the mountain but did a very good job getting close. This year we will have seven categories to go through, so keep your eyes peel for the coveted Poochy Award. Without any delay, here's the 2024 End-of-the-Year 'Shroom Awards. Thank you all for your support throughout this year, and thanks to our audience for reading.
- Diamond and Golden Mario Award – Given to those who have written a single section for The 'Shroom for a prolonged period of time, displaying consistent devotion to The 'Shroom.
- Diamond and Golden Bowser Award – Given to those who consistently submit their sections on time, displaying responsibility and good time management.
- Diamond and Golden Peach Award – Given to those who consistently produce sections of excellent quality as decided by the general public (Section of the Month), displaying a dedication to the subject matter of their respective sections and a desire to bring the best out of them.
- Diamond and Golden Yoshi Award – Given to those that have contributed many sections to the paper, displaying a willingness to test ones capabilities and spread their influence across The 'Shroom.
- Diamond and Golden Toad Award – Given to those that put a lot of effort to enhance The 'Shroom in specific ways, honoring those who may have helped a lot behind-the-scenes, contributed guest submissions, or participated in a 'Shroom event beyond expectations.
- Diamond and Golden 'Shroom Award – Given to the individuals that produced the best sections in 2024, as decided on by the Core Staff.
- Diamond Poochy Award – Given to individuals who have gone above and beyond the expectations of their position in making lasting contributions during the year, as decided on by the Core Staff.

Was tremendously involved in the creation of Paper 'Shroom: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. Many panels were written for the story, including the central hub, and the ending route.
|
| Hooded Pitohui (talk) |
Had a huge part in the creation of Paper 'Shroom: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. Two of the major paths were written by Pito, and he was also a huge help in putting everything together.
|
| Shoey (talk) |
Shoey oversaw everything regarding Paper 'Shroom: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. This includes the planning/writing for several routes, contacting artists to acquire pieces for the project, and making sure everything was in order. He also wrote several sections throughout the year.
|
| Waluigi Time (talk) |
Waluigi Time wrote many 'Shroom sections throughout each issue, and was heavily involved in the creation of Paper 'Shroom: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure as part of the core writing team.
|
| Meta Knight (talk) |
Meta Knight constructed the template that both allowed Paper 'Shroom: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure to work and made it much easier to construct. Without his technical assistance, far more manual work would have had to happen, and testing and fixes would have been much more difficult. He was also involved in coordination.
|
| Lakituthequick (talk) |
Lakituthequick built the initial technical model for Paper 'Shroom: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, providing a core under-the-hood element without which the project would have struggled to come together. It was his initial work upon which the template used for the project was built. He also provided additional technical assistance.

| TPG (talk) |
We have had a lot of artists work on The 'Shroom this year, thanks to our newly implemented volunteer call-sheet system. Several people were contacted and produced dozens of amazing pieces for us. Among the many artistic contributors we had, TPG not only stepped up to help by cooking up his designs, which really helped to give the special issues extra flair, but even slid into taking the lead on sculpting the look and feel of issue 211. He really stepped up to give the issue a strong, memorable visual direction, and we'd like to honor him for it and his other contributions to the paper this year.
