And that concludes the 2023 Whiffie Awards show.

As always we hope you enjoyed the show and give our congratulations to all of this year's winners.
We have a record number of four shared first places in this year's election. This shows how close most of the polls were!

A special congratulation to AeroplaneDriver on his three awards.

A huge well done and pat on the back goes to all members who were nominated.
Finally a big thank you to you the members who nominated and voted.

The Academy will send out a link to the winners to download their winner's certificates somewhere in the coming week.

The Academy hopes to see you all again for next year's 2024 Whiffie Awards.
Keep on nominating your favourite builds.

Keep on dreaming your builds and building your dreams!

Good night.

Wow.  The alpaca and I are shocked and honored at three wins.  So much incredible competition.  As always a great ceremony.  Congrats to all and special thanks Tom!!

Now...where's the after party?  Elton's house again?

[Rheged]

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) 

Lost property will publish a list later of items you may have omitted to take home with you.
