Community, 5 October 2026

Announcing your winners of the Golden Gnomes 2026!

This year's Golden Gnome awards were bigger than ever before, celebrating a whopping 45 community powerhouses, from up and coming streamers and creatives, to veteran content creators and truly stand-out players. You nominated and voted, and it all culminated in an awards show to remember, across two stages at RuneFest 2026!

While our winners took home the prestigious golden trophy, we want to extend a huge, and heartfelt GG to every single finalist. We are constantly blown away by the creativity within our community, and the Golden Gnomes give us an incredible opportunity to truly see that in action. So, thank you for continuing to create, whether you won, were a finalist, were nominated or are aspiring to see your name on the list in future.

We'll be sharing the winners from the Old School categories as well as the cross-game categories. Please check out the RuneScape and Dragonwilds blogs for their awards!

Without further ado, put your virtual hands together for our Golden Gnome 2026 winners!
