You can do it halfway into the year as well.
"Warzone Awards VI - 2023" only requires the awards to be about Warzone, and to be in or about 2023.
Wouldn’t the award be about CL15 not 16? The last awards about CL14.
In my opinion, it would be useful to try specify the time span of the Awards.
Originally the canceled Awards were "planned" to happen in winter 22-23 and were covering the span of the 2022 year. That's how the original question emerged in the first post of this current topic.
But now it is unclear (or have I missed?) what the Awards world cover and actually when they would happen.
