Here are the results of our sixth Grand Anagrammy Awards.
42 people voted in this yearās Grand Anagrammies. It was a
little down on previous years. This may have been related to minor glitch on
the voting form, which a couple of regulars reported on Day One and was quickly
fixed by Toby.
I never cease to be amazed by the very high standard of
anagrams in Grands, and soon as you start reading them, you realise how
difficult that it is pick three best in each category from such a great bunch.
We ran nearly all the short category month winners this year after pruning them
a little too heavily last year.

The downside was the difficulty in then choosing the three
very best for the Overall, especially in the six short categories. One member
noted that not only was it difficult to choose the Overall, but the leader was
sometimes not well placed in its own category. He suggested that we hold a
separate, later vote for the Overall, selecting from the Grand category
winners. This is worth discussing as an option for future Grand Anagrammies.
2003 saw many big changes in the Anagrammy Awards. The first
major change was, of course, moving from the slow-loading Voy Forum to our own
fast and more personalised forum on our server. The new forum had its faults
and short comings until Toby Gottfried joined the team. As most of you know, he
rewrote the Forum software, and has continued to add improvements over the last
few months. Not only that, but he created a greatly improved voting system,
making it very easy to setup each month, and also easier for voters to use.
