All Have Won, And All Shall Have Prizes

It seems you can't turn round without stumbling over another awards ceremony - thirty years after Douglas Adams satirised the explosion of self-congratulation in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy. At least that's the way that you feel until you win one yourself. The Keswick Film Festival website, which I designed and continue to webmaster, won a modest Distinction (i.e. 2nd place, but who's counting) in the Best Website category of the British Federation of Film Societies' annual awards last weekend. The first website I ever designed, so I am absolutely not going to get all competitive and try to win it next year. The Distinction was shared with the website of Jersey Film Society, coincidentally run by Martin Hodge, an old mate from Cambridge, to whom congratulations.
