The winners of the DH Awards 2016 are as follows. Once ‘accidental’ (and not so accidental) duplicates of the 1726 ballots were removed there were 1652 ballots cast by members of the public over two weeks voting for one or more of the categories. Sorry if your favoured resource did not win — open public votes are popularity contests not necessarily a measure of worth and some of the resources campaigned more successfully than the others. Since this is a DH awareness activity, if lots of people saw your favoured resource, then we all win.
