Cacowards 2013

The 20th Annual Cacowards, also referred to as Cacowards 2013, was the tenth annual Cacowards feature, released by Doomworld on December 17, 2013. It was written by Xaser, Alfonzo, kmxexii, Sarah Mancuso (esselfortium), and Boris Klimeš (dew).

This edition introduced the Espi Award for Lifetime Achievement, named after renowned mapper Esa Repo (Espi). It expanded the Best Multiplayer category into an entire Multiplayer Awards page with three recipients. Honoring a Newcomer was renamed Most Promising Newcomer (which is grammatically incorrect as it also was split three ways). There were six runners-up, and a jokewad received a special prize entitled Sing the Praises of Pants.
