The results of the Demonstration/Participation game competition:

Best Demonstration Game

Glider Assault –

Honnington Wargames Group

This is the game that has best demonstrated wargaming to the onlooker. It might have good scenery and figures but - more than anything - it is the ability of the club putting on the game to inspire and inform their "audience that counts for the most.
Best Participation Game

A Rig too Far –

Dr. Who Miniatures/ Crooked Dice

This is the game that has best allowed wargamers to involve themselves and play the game. It also might have good scenery and figures but - more than anything - it has to have a rule system that works well, that players enjoy and be a game that gives "food for thought" for those that take part (or those who watch others taking part).
The Robin Hunt Award for the most Innovative Game

Anakin’s Solution, May the Brick be With You.

- Dark Knights & Bloody Dawns

The late Robin Hunt was a Displays officer for the Warlords in the mid eighties and put a team together that made their mark with innovative and fun games that 'ploughed new furrows' in terms of periods and styles. That's the sort of game that used to make Robin smile and that's the very kind of game that the judges will be looking for!
Best Scenery

Bassuco  - Loughton Strike Force

Bespoke scenery, wonderfully painted is the ideal for a game on the day, but a lot can be achieved with readymade material that has been collected and reworked where appropriate - but the game can’t be a static diorama: it still has to be a wargame! The judges will be looking for the best.
The Bill Brewer Award for the Best Painted Army

Guerrilla – Spain 1811

- GLC Gamer’s Club

Many gamers can paint enough decent figures to enter a unit into a painting competition, but painting up a couple of armies for an open day game is a whole different matter. The late Bill Brewer, one of the founding three members of the South London Warlords in 1971, was just such a man! The judges will be looking for armies of the sort of high standard that Bill would have appreciated!
Best Presentation in use on a game

The World Turned Upside Down -

Real Time Wargamers

This category and covers the often overlooked elements that separate a good game from a great one for the audience or participants: information boards and handouts, computer assisted presentations and other aids that can add so much on the day.
Most Impressive Troops

Zama – Muswell Militia

This category and has been thought up to do a specific job: that is to try and praise a niche that is often overlooked. As Lenin once said, "quantity has a quality all of its own!" If the figures on the table aren't absolutely the very best painted, but are still well painted, or perhaps are of a sort of period that doesn't lend itself to colourful, flamboyant paintjobs, but there are still gazillions of troops, then the game might still look fantastic for the pure breadth and spectacle. The judges will be looking for a game who's troops demonstrate that a good, impressive effort was put in by the club.
Most Completely Created Game

Battle of Lake Okeechobee -

Richard Gillingham

This category allows for gamers who don't want to just buy commercially manufactured (or even painted) scenery and so forth. The judges will be looking for club built scenery, home grown rules - maybe even scratch built figures and conversions - but all of the highest quality!
Salute Challenger 

Tunnel Rats – Tin Soldiers of Antwerp

This is effectively, the runner up to the Salute Challenge Shield: see below.
The Salute Challenge Shield

Divine Wind

Whitstable & Herne Bay Wargames

Awarded for the Best Game over all on the day - this will be a combination of everything in the categories above and sometimes - though not necessarily - may win one or more of those prizes as well.
