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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
