 The earliest known use of the Tepes Award in its current form comes from [[offtopic:Georgepatton]], on [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=148832|February 12, 2010]].  His award was given to [[offtopic:William Blake]], and included the now-obligatory banner bearing the full title and an image of the namesake.
+ The award migrated to AH.com from [[offtopic:spacebattles]].com where it was used in 'VS Debates', a sup forum based on determine who would win in fictional fights. The Vlad Tepes award was used to signify when a match was brutally unbalanced - a 'stomp thread'.
+==== Variations ====
+In 2010, [[offtopic:Polish Eagle]] created the [[alternate_history:Theodore Roosevelt Award]] as an "opposite Vlad Tepes Award" which was later refined by [[offtopic:Plumber]].
+In 2011, [[offtopic:Polish Eagle]] created the [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-4222425|"Charles Darwin Award for Excellence"]] in breeding so prolifically that there is no question of your victory in the genetic race.
+In 2013, [[offtopic:President Lenin]] created the [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-7242030|Magical Wizard Award]] (sans image) for [[offtopic:Magical Wizard]], which is, apparently, like the Vlad Tepes Award but even more so.
