Summary

The JoeCustoms.com Year End Achievement Awards (aka the JCAs) are an annual event initiated by Grand Slam to recognize outstanding achievement at the end of the year for both customs and dios. Each year we vote on our community's best work to give the cream of the crop their proper recognition. These awards also serve as a year in review for the site in general and help to remind us of the fun that we've had together for the past year.

2008 JCAs Intro

It's time for the 2009 JoeCustoms Awards. This is the time of year when we sift through the best of the best and decide which customs/dios we here at JoeCustoms.com feel are the cream of the crop.

Just to give everyone a flavor for how last year's JCAs went, here is the link to last year's results:
