Michael Powell and/or Emeric Pressburger.The voting was open to everyone but was promoted mainly in the PaPAS email list and on this web site.
Nominations were accepted in the various categories. These were then offered for the Voting.
There were 56 voting papers sent in from admirers of The Archers around the world.
The results were collated by our respected invigilator Mr Malcolm Pratt of Memphis, TN.
