Shortlistees: If you are one of the shortlisted bloggers/vloggers who wins there will be an opportunity for you to say a few words in a short speech (we’ve set aside approximately 1 minute). There is no obligation to do this. If you prefer to just collect the prize that it absolutely fine. If you are unable to attend, we’ll ask if you’d like to be called on the night and, if so, on what number: we’ll then send your trophy on via a friend you nominate or by post.
