The results are in, and this year we had a record 14 participants, and everyone did really well. Congratulations to all the participants! But alas, the participation rate fell short of the minimum participants we needed to award a 27th place prize, so we won't be able to award one after all. Shame too, since the 27th place prize was a mint condition copy of the Placebo EP. Oh well, better luck next year.
