Welcome to ‘Trekzone and MTM’s Best of 2023 List’.

The ‘Best of 2023 List’ is different to the Trekzone Fan Film Awards because while the Trekzone Fan Film Awards take in months from two years (2022 and 2023 for example), the ‘Best of 2023 List’ only takes in the months of 2023.

We have 19 categories for you, and we are proud to have created these categories for the enjoyment of the fan productions and their fans.

Trekzone has created a video version of the ‘Best of 2023 List’ so you can enjoy it in written and/or visual form.

Without further ado, here is the ‘Best of 2023 List’.
