The Brian Guilmant Memorial Award 2022

[The Sales Team]

We are pleased to launch the Brian Guilmant Award for 2022.

The system is generally unchanged from last year (take a look at the thread for last years poll if it helps), although this year members will also be allowed to vote by email (though if you have internet access, why not sign up for the forum and access all the other good things here as well?)

The shortlisted articles are shown above, drawn from all the issues of 009 News in 2021. Please note that all back issues are available in the Members' Archive on the Society website if you need to refresh your memory and don't have the copies to hand. Our sincere apologies if your own article isn't included!

The criteria are much the same this year: the article(s) which most encourage or inspire the average Society modeller to 'have a go'.

Each member has three votes to distribute as they choose. Depending on the software you may only have a single opportunity to vote, although you may be able to change your vote(s) at a later date.
This year it looks as though you can only give one vote per article (which may avoid some of the confusion encountered last year!) so just pick up to three to give a vote for.

Details of the competition will also appear in the next issue of 009 News and the closing date this year will be  Monday 18th April.

As last year, the prize will be a voucher for £50 for the winner to spend with Society Sales.

It will help if you can please publish the shortlist which is not "above" as you have said!

Hi, Mick -

For the shortlist (of five articles) see the 'Poll' section above the post.

David

It is bit embarrassing to find myself on the short list, but thank you anyway. If I had known, I would have probably tried to persuade you otherwise!

Julian :-[

I guess it just shows how impartial the short-listing process was!

David.

P.S. It'll be even more embarrassing if no-one votes for your article  :)

[The Sales Team]

Just a reminder to all members who haven't yet done so that there are only a couple of days left to vote before the poll closes!

Voting for this year's Award is now closed and an official announcement of the result will be made shortly (when the email votes have been counted).

Thanks to everyone who took part.

A rather belated formal announcement of the result of this year's competition - John Wilkes did indeed win (after the email votes - both of them! - were added to the online ones), and you can see a picture of John being presented with his Award at the recent Society AGM by our Chairman, Julian Evison, on page 19 of the June issue of the 009 News.

Thanks to everyone who took part this year. And, of course, congratulations to John for fine and useful articles - a worthy winner!
