The Dust Awards 2009
With 2009 drawing to a close, DUSTers came together to celebrate the awesome Team spirit that personifies the DUST Team with the introduction of the DUST awards.
Emma from FeliciaFairy was the organizer and the amazing host of this year’s awards. Fellow DUSTers also responded generously and many amazing prizes were donated to the awards to build rather exciting and amazing prize packets for the winners.
With a total of ten different catgeories, DUSTers were encouraged to nominate their choices for the awards over the period of two weeks. Voting was then opened for 3 weeks with each DUSTer being given the chance to vote for their chosen recipient of the awards. After a nail-biting wait, the results were then revealed: well done, DUSTers!
