This refers not only to design productivity, such as scenario or modpack design, but also activities in the community, such as in writing guides, answering questions, and so forth.
This special award is given to the AoMH designer who has achieved the most in the world of AoM design, be it scenario design, modpack design, or some other form of AoM-related design.
