Record Of The Day Awards 2010 - The Winners
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater November 26th, 2010

Let's get this straight. We probably wouldn't be writing about these awards if we didn't win something. But we did. So we are. That doesn't mean that all the winners aren't deserved, and hardworking individuals and organisations. Anyway, the annual music industry bash Record Of The Day awards took place last and most of those present were feeling worse for wear this morning. I know I am, although that's nothing to do with any award ceremony, more staying up to watch the cricket.

Anyway, the news we're happy to announce or confirm, repeat or whatever is that we scooped the prize for Best Publication, which is nice.

Full list of winners below:

  • Student writer - Kate Allen, Reading University
  • Best Publication - Drowned in Sound
