GoldenBears Posted Feb 16, 2008, 9:59 pm	WINNER: BEST ENSEMBLE The winner of the Best Ensemble is .... The Hallowe'en Party Toy Voyagers are sociable beings that sometimes like to gather together in large numbers. This prize is for the best picture to include six or more Voyagers. BunTraveler's superior party planning paid off with a well deserved win for the legendary Hallowe'en party.  Congratulations to BunTraveler, her monkey boys and everyone who attended or helped in any way!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 16, 2008, 10:07 pm	WINNER: BEST NEWCOMER The Best Newcomer is ... Snegovik Only Toy Voyagers registered on or after 1 August 2007 were eligible in this category.  We asked you to pick the ToyVoyager who had got off to such a good start that you thought they would be next year's big winner. Snegovik has only recently joined ToyVoyagers, but has been a popular figure right from the start.  Congratulations on being the Best Newcomer to the website!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 17, 2008, 11:48 pm	WINNER: BEST COSTUME Many Toy Voyagers simply love to dress to impress. In this category we celebrate a whole variety of sartorial efforts, whether stylish, practical, or just bizarre. Congratulations to Mara Joy - a fully paid up member of the Red Hat Society - who has scooped this year's Best Costume award.
GoldenBears Posted Feb 18, 2008, 10:16 pm	WINNER: BEST COMEDY Snegovik This category was your chance to honour both the accomplished comedians and the genuine fools! It was a close contest but there could only be one winner, and it was Snegovik who came out on top.  Lending himself very well to comedy episodes, scenes such as this 'Fridge Raid' sequence helped him clinch the prize.
GoldenBears Posted Feb 19, 2008, 10:23 pm	WINNER: BEST SCENERY The winner in the Best Scenery category is Björn Bangsi Toy Voyagers have explored many corners of the earth and been photographed in front of lots of world-famous landmarks as well as in sites of great natural beauty.  We asked you to vote on who has travelled to the most impressive destination. Spectacular shots of Icelandic geysers and waterfalls clinched it for Björn Bangsi. Congratulations!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 20, 2008, 8:56 pm	WINNER: BEST ACTION The winner is Brian Some Toy Voyagers are presumably a bit nervous in front of the camera as they just stand there frozen. Others keep right on moving, just like Brian - who you voted top in the award for the best action shot!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 21, 2008, 11:26 pm	WINNER: CLASSIC The Classic ToyVoyager is ... Cassiopeia This category is for ToyVoyagers who have been around for a long time, have travelled far from their mentors and built up what we consider to be 'classic' travelogs.  We asked you to look at the overall quality of the travelog: the photos, the updates and the journey itself.  There were loads to choose from - we have narrowed it down to twelve and then you picked Cassiopeia as your winner!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 22, 2008, 9:43 pm	WINNER: BEST WRITING Travel Ted It's not all in the photography... This prize is for the ToyVoyager whose written travelogue entries have proved a source of entertainment and enlightenment in their own right. Congratulations to Travel Ted!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 25, 2008, 7:51 am	WINNER: BEST PICTURE Henry the Adventure Hound In this category we invited you to vote for the striking photographs that best express what ToyVoyaging is all about and which are framed and lit to near-professional standards. You chose this stunning shot of Henry the Adventure Hound!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 25, 2008, 7:52 am	WINNER: AUDIENCE FAVOURITE Snegovik There maybe no rhyme or reason to it, but there are some Toy Voyagers that simply put smiles on our faces. We asked you which of them would you love to find standing on your doorstep.  Congratulations to Snegovik!
GoldenBears Posted Feb 25, 2008, 9:13 pm	WINNER: BEST TRAVELOG The winner is Chiquita This prize is for the Toy Voyager who has done it all: travelled to all sorts of exciting places and told us about them in an entertaining account accompanied by a fantastic range of pictures. You voted for Chiquita - congratulations Chiquita!  Here are just a few shots from her travelog:
