A superb Awards Show, with everyone behaving (more or less) with due decorum and unlike certain other awards events, no fisticuffs!

Every single entry was of a remarkably high standard and the organization of voting an example of how these things should be done .

Especial congratulations to Aeroplane Driver (and his alpaca)
