The South African blog awards wouldn't be complete without thanking a number of people for making them happen.
Rafiq and Miguel from Web Addicts for putting together the new voting system and taking care of the admin process. The guys worked long hours - and put together a world-class system.
Mel, Lee, Don, Rich...! and the rest of the team from Missing Link for their amazing work in putting together the awards evening. Much respect! Do yourself a favour and check out the video Lee put together on the night.
Sarah from Quirk for running the alternative logo contest.
The sponsors:
Storm for the Apple MacBook Pro given to Tertia for winning blog of the year. The guys from TSC Imbizo - suppliers of suitably branded promotional schtuff - for sponsoring the vuvuzela trophies.
Thanks to Stormhoek and Podcity for the spot prizes on the night, and all the other category sponsors; Cerebra, MobileQandA, eSquared, Skyrove, Yeigo, Dell, Arthur Goldstuck, Tertia and Cooksister for their contribution.
Thanks also to all the bloggers on the panel for your time and effort, the judges, the public who voted and everyone who attended the awards ceremony.
There were a couple of trophies which had to be taken back to Cape Town after the awards, because the winners could not make the ceremony in Johannesburg.
The gentleman in picture was so keen to get his hands on one of the vuvuzelas - so we granted him the honourary winner of the 'Best Post on a South African blog' award.
At least we know the award will finally be appreciated.
All your winners here.
