The nomination process for the 2025 MC Awards has been revamped. This year, there were no preliminary rounds. Instead, we assembled a council of MCs: previous winners and Hall of Fame MCs who jointly determine the nominations.

The new nomination process
- The final two winners each nominate three MCs in their category.
- Hall of Fame MCs only submit Hall of Fame nominations, unless they are temporarily replacing a winner who cannot or does not wish to participate in the council.
- This means no MC can win two years in a row. This makes the nominations fairer, more exciting, and provides more opportunities for new talent.
In recent years, MC D-Jay (2023) and Chaos (2024) were awarded the prize. After this year, D-Jay will step down from the council, with the 2025 winner taking his place. This way, the nomination process remains innovative and independent.
