And the winners are…

There were 25 categories in total, with 5 winners announced prior to the event. All nominees came from fans via open polls on social media with thousands of submissions that began in January, and in February, fans voted for the winners in each category using Google Forms to allow as many people as possible to enter (also those who use social media). The winners were announced last Sunday.

The LLAPy Awards divided the Trek franchise into distinct eras, with Legacy Awards covering all Star Trek prior to 2017, Renaissance Awards covering 2017-2019, and New/Current Star Trek 2020-2021. And then some Trek Universe categories, covering all of them were. Going forward, the “New/Current Star Trek” category will only include the previous year. So the New Star Trek category of LLAPy 2023 will only contain shows/movies from 2022 etc.

The following list of categories is presented in the order seen during the ceremony. Winners are in bold and prominent appearances are noted.
