🏆 New awards this year 🏆

For the sovereign of surrender, the high priest of horizontal entry, and the majestic ruler of landing flat — your reign begins at impact.
For the aerialist whose twists, flips, spins, or other advanced math left us dizzy and delighted. You didn’t just jump — you solved for splash.
You came in with lore. With motivation. With a narrative arc worthy of a 6-part docuseries. We believed in you. And you jumped anyway.
You aimed high, flew higher, and... landed in flames. This one’s for the spectacular fails, the risks that did not pay off — and the legend that did.
Awarded to our most petite performer with an absolutely outsized presence. Small in stature, massive in splash, unforgettable in spirit.
The heart and soul of the contest. For the one who embodied joy, creativity, courage, and community. This is the splash that stays with us.

The Classics

Biggest splash on one cannonball.
This award is for the contestant with the most swagger, confidence, style. You're hot. You're cool. You're on point.
Not only did you stick the joke, you repeated it, over and over. It was funny, then annoying, then you brought it around at least one more time to have people internally acknowledge your persistence while they chuckled at your genius.
Most collective laughs across the whole contest.
Best form on a complex, unique or challenging cannonball.
You invented something amazing. You named it perfectly. You executed it with grace and humility and everyone in attendance was in awe of how beautiful your mind is when applied to cannonball innovation.
The splash you created seems to defy the laws of physics and fluid dynamics. And most of the people standing here studied both things. Equations are spinning through our heads trying to understand how such a small package could possibly have produced such a huge splash.

Awarded for eliciting involuntary gasps, prolonged shrieks, or total loss of bladder control from the audience. We are, frankly, still processing.
You made us laugh, you made us cry… but the underlying theme was that we were hanging on your every move, every joke, every splash.
You partnered up and performed a coordinated splash event. It was something that was not possible to be achieved by a solo baller, and because of that we commend your collaborative spirit! Collaboration may not be in your base nature, but you saw the chance to become part of something greater than the sum of your parts… and you accepted the challenge.
You run against the grain. You go left when society goes right. And you flaunted the tightest Speedo perfectly to show everyone how confident you were in your curves.
Award for the diver who talks the most trash over the entire competition.
Awarded for the most audacious, effective, or potentially dangerous use of a non-human object. Your props spoke louder than words. Or safety regulations.
For the cannonballer who treated the diving board like Broadway. Your intensity. Your eye contact. That single tear. This was not a jump. This was a reckoning.
