Well done to all who got shortlisted.

And yes Trevor I think it's the west's turn for our equivalent of the "La Nina" which has presented us with virtually no opportunity since last full moon. Now I am starting to understand all those frustrated over east 6 months ago with the rain!!

I was talking to Pete Lawrence last night.
He was saying how he was going in to ROG for the judging. I asked how many rounds to go and his reply was.....
"Tomorrow is it Jeanette - at the end of the day we'll know who the winners are."
Good Luck everyone!!!

Looks like judging has taken place, but I would imagine that no one will know for some time yet. Like JJJ said the official announcement is 9 Sept. which is a long time away yet.

If you have won something you would probably know by now

Daily Tele UK

CNN

Newsshopper

Metro

London Science Festival

Guardian

Looking at the entries submitted (over 700!) and with 10 judges on the panel I think Aussies may well feature strongly in the finals - good luck everyone!

Thanks Al. I wish I could just pick up and jaunt off to the other side of the world at will! Unfortunately I'm going to have to decline the invitation and watch the twitter feed again
