The Best Commentor Award 2007
Artist, poet, Dwarvenmistress, scribe, and co-mistress of the Greenhouses (among other things), Bard Judith needs no introduction to any developer. Commenting usefully, intelligently and most of all graciously across a vast span of topics, the Bard diffuses difficult situations, redirects newbies and encourages old hands, all with the same effortless, graceful style. Congratulations Judy, and thank you, from all of us, for all you do for the Dream!

The Best Miscellaneous Entry Award 2007
Winning entry: "The Cheeses of Caelereth"
With a finger in every pie (and cheese), our beloved Bard makes an immeasurable contribution to the Santharian Dream, and has been doing so for eight years now. Her "Cheeses of Caelereth" entry typifies her easy, sassy, flawless style – particularly in evidence when turning the most humble of everyday ‘Earthen’ things into well-integrated ‘Santharianised’ entries. Bravo!

Commitment Badge 2007
Our Bard has been known for faithful contributions and thorough comments throughout the past years, and 2007 is no exception. Despite all kinds of turbulences on and off the boards, the managing of her family and the troubles with finding the correct job, there's always time for Santharia for Judy. Her creative entries and thoughtful suggestions make it an extraordinary pleasure to work with her on the Dream!

The Sage of the Year Award 2008
Artist, poet, Dwarvenmistress, scribe, and co-mistress of the Greenhouses (among other things), Bard Judith needs no introduction to any developer. Commenting usefully, intelligently and most of all graciously across a vast span of topics, the Bard diffuses difficult situations, redirects newbies and encourages old hands, all with the same effortless, graceful style. Congratulations Judy, and thank you, from all of us, for all you do for the Dream!

The Best Artwork Award 2008
Winning picture: "The Brownie Council Tree"
Santharia is truly blessed with a wide variety of artistic talent, making a decision to select the best artwork a very hard choice. Still we couldn’t pick a favourite, instead choosing two, the “Brownie Council Tree” by Masterbard Judith and the “Needle's Eye Reef” by Linda Tso. Both display a huge talent in their different way. The first, from our beloved bard, is but one of many pictures she has delivered us this year, ranging from an elderly Eyelian, a Kaaer'dár'shín Shamut to a Fairy Mouse to name just a few that were nominated for this award as well - and thus making the decision only harder. Every single picture she creates is done beautifully with a style adored by us all.

The Best Musical Contribution Award 2008
Winning song: "Sailing to Zandiria"
Gentle, dreamy, and catchy to boot, "Sailing to Zandiria" - sung by our very own Bard Judith (who else?) - has it all. While there were many other worthy competitors, each with its own share of loyal fans, "Sailing to Zandiria" has stayed on the most listened list for nearly a year and now and thus also won our voting round in the end. And as such has earned the well deserved "Best Musical Piece Of 1668 Award"! Well done! Now if only I could stop humming the tune.

The Best Artwork Award 2009
Winning picture: "The Kotarinenga Marshes"
Two fantastic artists, who between them have produced most of the Santharian and Santhworld illustrations this year, were in competition for this award, with two entries each being nominated for best artwork of the year. Our much beloved Masterbard won with the entry “Kotairitenga Marshes”, one of her most evocative atmospheric pictures yet. The very talented artist Seeker won second place with his magnificent “Baych Trees” entry and his “Frozen Tombs” tied with another of the Bard’s, “Ice Trees” for third place. - Congratulations, Judith and well done, to both of you!

The Best Artwork Award 2011
Winning picture: "The Hut that Walks on Spider Legs"
Dula's hut is leaning back onto its hind legs to have a restful smoke under a blue cheese moon. Its spider legs arranged in playful disorder upon the muddy ground, its reet roof at a jaunty angle, the hut is at ease among the wild flowers and bushes, and not worried by the shadows and the fogs that haunt the land. “After all,” the hut seems to say, “it's us who make the splendidest shadows around here.” But would you dare to knock at the door? Would your heart find the courage to venture within, would your eyes be brave enough to look for the source of the light – too gaudy and colourful to come from an ordinary hearthfire – that seeps through cracks of the wood?

To have observed the witch hut in this pose is one more in Masterbard Judith of Bardavos' long list of marvellous achievements. To have convinced it to remain still long enough for a faithful portrait is a most singular feat indeed. But to have caught the spirit of the hut with the strokes of a painter's brush – well, that is nothing more than we have come to expect of Judith, who has delighted these boards with gems of the painter's art at a rate that has led some compendiumists to suspect that she is, in fact, five or six people. Let me assure you that she is nothing of the sort. How she keeps up her extraordinary consistency in excellence may be beyond our understanding, but we know that she is the one and only Judith of Bardavos, and we congratulate her to the thoroughly deserved award for Best Artwork of 2011!

The Best of the Rest Award 2011
Winning contribution:  "The Mysteries of Nepris, Part II"
The Best of the Rest in Two Thousand Eleven Has been voted by people's acclaim,
And declared to be Santhworld - mysterious heaven, That brings an entire group fame.
We must praise our dear sage first and foremost, of course, Who invented the conceptual game,
But also the artists who've worked like a horse, To visualize all of the same.
For Nepris the Second has outdone the First, Though the First surely could not be called 'lame',
Enthralling and frustrating, our heads fit to burst, Entrapping both master and dame.

The writers have laboured on twists and on turns, To make a mysterious plot,
And soundmen and actors and sketchers of ferns, We truly do owe you a lot,
Plus hugs to the Grinch, who's a techie at heart, And helps us all out of a spot!
So thanks to the many who've made this success, A bit of the whole in the pot,
Santharia distilled, like delectable stew, Good whether you finish - or not!
