The Global Backyard Wrestling News awards or the GBYWN End Year Awards are active and defunct awards which have been presented within the community of Global Backyard Wrestling News (GBYWN) and was created in 2006 since the community's iteration by GBYWN owner Cam.
Originally, only one award alone was rewarded to a single federation until 2007 when Cam extended the amount of awards. The awards are separated into different categories, the "Super awards", the "Grand awards", and "Awards" crediting the efforts of well-deserved nominees. They were also first voted for in the forum community until a decision was made to have the award nominations chosen exclusively by special personnel within before Cam picked the final selections.
Arguably and controversially not exactly accurate due to the high volume and consideration of nominations, GBYWN strives to select the most warranted winners. To date, there have been 4 End of Year awards that have taken place.[R]
