The celebration was a sold out event, and everything was bigger and better, including the elegant setting at the new Georgia Public Broadcasting Building, the plated dinner, and of course, the always entertaining awards ceremony. Sixty-two entrants received awards in nineteen categories: 17 gold, 15 silver, and 30 merit awards. Nineteen generous sponsors helped to make this event possible including the gold level sponsors of Digital Solutions, iXL, Quantegy, Inc., Sony Electronics, Tech Rentals, Vaughn Communications, and Video Copy Services.
