The winners of the DH Awards 2014 are as follows. Once ‘accidental’ (and not so accidental) duplicates were removed there were 2117 ballots cast by members of the public over two weeks voting for one or more of the categories. Sorry if your favoured resource did not win — open public votes are popularity contests and some of the contestants campaigned more than the others. If lots of people saw your favoured resource, then we all win.
We collected a variety of statistics available at http://dhawards.org/dhawards2014/statistics and are accepting feedback at http://goo.gl/forms/6B2EomDO3z to make DH Awards 2015 even better.
