Special Awards:
From Loai Qerl to Miyoshi Akashi: would like to offer a special prize to Miyoshi Akachi, author of âEstablishing an industrial colony: a journalâ in the Academic category. I found it both rigorous as a practical manual and very charming as a fictional account. The structure complemented the contents remarkably well. I loved it. The prize is a potted jama plant, related by direct cutting lines to the first jama planted on the Qerl estate, out of respect for her appreciation of the efforts of new settlement.
From Cassandra Habalu. Her special prize will be a âStealth Bomber Starter Kitâ awarded to Evelyn Arnoux for her report on population demographics in Syndicate. It was engaging and immersive, and she loved the footnotes and the use of visuals which suited the medium very well. An outstanding achievemen
From Pol Macsliebh, a Vargur, to Elsebeth Rhiannon for best overall Matari entry, âWhy is the Sea Saltyâ
No Special Award this year for Best Triglavian Entry or Ms. Valateâs themes. They will roll over to next year.
Organizerâs Prize to Duke Shasta for âThe Blood of Gladiatorsâ
Organizerâs Prize to Miyoshi Akachi for her two Academic Writings
Organizerâs Prize to Emilia Dellacorte for âPoddedâ

Taking a look at the Corporation Membership of the Jurors and Winners it is fair to assume, that the whole thing was a joke.

Oh, nice. I see at least some of my ISK went to people I like.
Congrats to the winners.
P.S. Might want to thank the donors who had things auctioned as well. I mean, thatâs how my billions joined the prize pool.

I know there where multiple trig entryâs is there a reason the prize wasnât given to any of them for best trig entry?
The Judge whose special prize it was did not feel this yearâs entries warranted it.

Disappointing in a sense, but it does mean people will have a full year to compose a literary work worthy of such prizes for next yearâs competition.

My congratulations to the authors of the winning entries.
There is one thing I do not understand though. It seems as though Nauplius and Octantia Dadarwar are being awarded the prizes for the articles that mention them, even though they do not seem to be their authors, nor have I seen any claims of them that they are the authors. As far as I have been able to determine, the articles concerning The True Emperor can only be linked to Impetus Publisher and do not mention the author(s), and the articles about the custody battle do not even have their publisher(s) listed.
There is probably something that I missed that would explain this, but at this time I am not aware of that.

The works were nominated and I followed the directions of the pertinent parties and/or publishers in directing the award.

There were two, but neither were to my standards.
Disappointing indeed and youâre right.
