Ooh, good catch.

I'm going to make a bit of an executive decision on this. LOTR was
published later, so where the two conflict I think that makes LOTR the
ultimate authority of the two. So for the purpose of these awards, the
award name will be "The Battle of the Five Armies Award".

However, if someone makes a mistake and a banner doesn't have "the",
we'll accept it. It's just that the official name will be "The Battle
of the Five Armies Award".
