Lost Video Island

[Aislynn]

This year more than any other was the year of tiebreakers and close calls in both the Tournament and the Members Choice Awards! Combining that with the fact this was also the biggest Tourney with more qualifying entries than ever before, then this was truly a year of incredible vids! If you found yourself with an entry in either or both, then no matter what the results, I hope you consider yourself a winner!

And speaking of results... *drum roll*

The winner of the 2008 LVI Tournament and the video of the year is...

"all that i am" by Belxf

2nd place winner: "Girls Just Want to Have Fun!" by Polarbear
3rd place winner: "open your eyes - pbj/au" by littleton_pace

4th place winner: "You're All I Need" by KajaM
5th place winner: "Save You" by KajaM

Huge congratulations to Bel (who has now won for a second consecutive year! ), Paul and Kat for their fantastic vids! Congratulations also to Karolina for getting not one but two awesome vids into the top five for a second consecutive year as well! You four are awesome, amazing, and just awe-inspiring vidders, the top that LVI has to offer! Congrats again!

Congratulations to all of the winners! Best AU (Story) was very nearly the tie that couldn't be broken so we felt that since the final results of the tiebreaker was so very close, then this category deserved a runner-up!

Banners and site award seals will be coming soon! Congratulations again and a huge thank you not only to all who participated and voted but to my fellow CMs who worked so hard in the weeks and months leading up to the start of the Tournament getting everything set up and running!

I can hardly wait to see what sort of amazing vids this next year will bring. Here's to a wonderful 2009!
