There's also no award for "Best signature", in which several candidates all received a single vote with no overall winner.
And so, without further ado, here are the categories for which awards have been given:
***
The coveted prize of best conlang goes to Cathbad for High Eolic, easily the most popular candidate with no less than 6 votes.
Best phonology goes to Egein for Siwa, again an easy win with 4 votes.
Without any contest, best conscript is won by Risla Amahendir for the South Eresian script, with a remarkable total of 12 votes.
Best conworld is won by HandsomeRob for Steampulp, with 3 votes.
Most experimental conworld is another unanimous category, won by Nae for Flatworld, with 4 votes.
***
Best conscriptor goes unanimously to Zoris, with 3 votes.
Best conworld art / meta-art is won by vampireshark, with 8 votes and very little competition.
Most ambitious conlanger goes to Neek, with 3 votes.
Best website is won by zompist for zompist.com, with 3 votes (Mecislau's veche.net won 5 votes, but is ineligible having also won last year).
This year's Special Award for Outstanding Services to Conartistry goes fairly easily to Goatface for his ASCA, with 4 votes.
***
Most helpful person goes narrowly to Torco, with 3 votes.
Best newcomer, on the other hand, is an easy win for Astraios, with an impressive 8 votes.
Best topic is also easily won, this time by Skomakar'n for Help your fluency in a nifty way, with 7 votes.
Best topic starter also goes to Skomakar'n, with 3 votes.
Nicest ZBBer is our first tied category, with 2 votes each for Nancy Blackett and Delthayre.
Smartest ZBBer is just won by Pthug, with 3 votes.
Numerous members were voted for under Coolest ZBBer; the award ultimately goes to Kereb with 2 votes.
Most serious ZBBer is won by Salmoneus with 3 votes.
Most eccentric ZBBer is an easy win for Eddy, with 6 votes.
Best-looking guy is narrowly won by Skomakar'n (his third award), with 3 votes.
Best avatar is the second award this year to go to Risla Amahendir, another landslide victory with 12 votes.
Best quote received numerous nominations but was narrowly won by Torco (2 votes) for:
***Torco wrote:Breasts are good for more than just grabbing, therefore, their fit to a hand's size isn't enough criterion on which to evaluate them. Motorboating, pillowing, intermammary sex, extensive kneading, twin nipple suction, penis-slapping-the-nipples, are all sexual options that are only, or preferently, available with bigger breasts. Plus I love how they look
of course, I'm not above the feeling of having all of a woman's breast inside my mouth either
Finally, an honorary award of Best maps goes to HandsomeRob. Rob is not technically eligible for this award, having won it once before; however, given that he received an incredible 14 votes with extremely little competition, it only seems fair to give it to him again.

May I be the first person to say well done to all our winners! Congratulations!
