+The top bracket was dominated by cities within the Victoria region (with the exception of Lynnfield), but Altes Antiguo would end up surprising everyone in the quarterfinals by upsetting the presumed power of LF by 2 votes. Victoria would make a clean sweep against its neighbor Sparta with 8 votes. The bottom half of the bracket housed the defending champions of the 2018 Awards, Summerville, as well as newcomer Pine County. Summerville would make a clean sweep against Cannaville by 8 votes, while Pine County largely also dominated its competition in the quarterfinals. Of more particular interest to the community was the semi-finals, as the remaining four cities (two of them having won the award previously) all had significant development made to them since 2018. Victoria and Altes Antiguo would remain tied for a large chunk of the semifinals until the last day when Victoria got a one vote edge, sending Vicky to her second appearance in the Town finals. Pine County made clean work of Summerville, sending the county to its first ever appearance. It is the first time a newcomer city (Pine County) has made an appearance to the final and the first time that a prior winner (Victoria) has the chance to win another title.

	The '''Spring Awards''' is an event in which members of the community are recognized for their contributions to Virtual Paradise.

The '''Spring Awards''' is an event in which members of the community are recognized for their contributions to Virtual Paradise. As of 2025, the Spring Awards are inactive.
	==History==		==History==
	The origins of the Spring Awards date back to 2016, when tension between the AW and VP communities were at high points. The idea to host an awards show in a smaller community was originally suggested as a joke, as AW's regulars wanted to bring back the CY Awards, which could not happen due to inactivity. The Courier, over on VP, decided to create a knockout-style event that could compensate for VP's smaller base. The Spring Awards would also be hosted by one of VP's major cities as a home.
