Pixel Trade Awards 2010 Winners

Press Release:

On the evening of the 22nd October 2010, the 6th annual Pixel Trade Awards were announced to an excited crowd at the London Marriott, Grosvenor Square in Mayfair.

Sixteen awards were presented in total including the Outstanding Contribution to the Industry award, which was picked up by Stafford Ford of Gadgital.

Many people across the Imaging Industry have known Stafford for many years and, given that he will be stepping down in the very near future, the award definitely made it into the right hands. Stafford was extremely grateful for the acknowledgement and there will be a short letter from him published in a forthcoming issue of Pixel Magazine, along with lots of pictures and stories from the night.

For now though, please find to follow a complete list of winners and runners up from the 2010 Pixel Trade Awards.
