	The '''MegaZeux Excellence Awards''' (also known by its abbreviation, ''MZXEA'') were conceived by [[~~Adam Parrish\|Adam (~~myth~~) Parrish~~]] as an annually-held awards ceremony where the community voted on their favorite [[MegaZeux]] games released that year. In actuality, only three were ever held: the first two were held in 1996 and 1997, after which community interest began to wane. A final effort was made by [[Hercules]] to revive the tradition in 2000, which was ultimately to be the last MZXEA. In general, the perception was and is that there are not enough high-quality MZX games released on a yearly basis to justify the ceremony, and everyone is already aware of those games that are high-quality anyway. In addition, controversy over [[Luke Drelick]] engaging in ballot stuffing for his game, [[Engine: The Second Attack\|Engine 2]], caused a decline in faith in the legitimacy and credibility of the awards.

-The MZXEA had three major awards for best overall game, each represented by an ampersand (&). The Gold Ampersand went to the best game released that year, while the Silver and Bronze Ampersands were awarded to the two runners-up. Genre-specific awards were also given, including awards for Best Unfinished/Demo Game and Best [[Day of Zeux|DoZ]] Game.
+Historically, the rules worked like this:
