    Cross me out if those who get short-listed have to pay £900+VAT for a table to attend the ceremony

    At least local chamber of commerce had decency to call us AFTER shortlisting to say we did not make it and asked whether we still want to book the table

      Actually! Thats why we came runner up. We were told afterwards that we'd won but because I refused to pay for a table which was about £400 they swapped the positions around.

      It's just a bloody scam.

        Why would anyone think otherwise? An ex-client of mine ran an annual media award ceremony. Unless you are REALLY famous and might give them a kickback you wouldn't stand a chance of winning unless you had paid for a large group to attend.

        The "award" was a paperweight glued to a cardboard stand but they did get to put "Winners of the {wanky media co} award" on their ads. I still have a couple of spare "awards" in the loft.

          I'll vote for Dodgy if he's still actually alive somewhere. There's been little sign of him since the Tories got in. Is he avoiding us for the next 4 years?
          Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                Are you practising your speech? Don't forget to thank the little people.

                  I worked for a co that won a Product Innovation award. Oh how we laughed in the product development team!
