The 1st Annual SAW Awards were a great success! We met our world user limit of 40 through the majority of the ceremony (don't worry, it'll be higher for the next ceremony!). We had many fantastic nominees and outstanding winners, with only 2 ties out of 10 categories. Overall, it sounds like everyone had a great time! Below are some photos, lists, and transcripts from the event.
