We had been nominated a few times in the past and last year we won. (We were also nominated for 2 awards at the upcoming 2011 awards, woohoo!) When I heard our name announced, I was so nervous that I couldn't find the entrance to the stage and almost missed my chance. When I finally got in front of the mic, I didn't know what to say. I mumbled something and ran off. But still, it was THAT COOL. (As a very nice bonus, Segpay Cathy & Crew had a glass of champagne waiting for me. VERY nice..!)

After all these year's we're still a small company next to the big guys out there, so I don't know for sure who voted for us. What I can say for sure though is that it wetted my appetite to make our product better.

Celebrating excellence in our industry should be encouraged and the XBIZ Awards does it perfectly. If you haven't had the chance to attend I suggest that you do - I'm sure you'll come to appreciate it as much as everyone else does.
