Welcome to the third annual Golden Tank Awards—a celebration of the finest EventLab creations, published by players like you! Five winners in five different categories will take home the prestigious Golden Tank Award in recognition of their amazing contributions to the game.
Every year our community surprises us with creations we could never have imagined seeing in Forza Horizon 5. We are always thrilled to see how creators use the props, tools, and environments we provide to create something amazing.
In December 2024, after we selected our initial nominees per category, we asked you to vote for your favorite EventLab creations. Today, we are finally announcing our winners!
