The winners of the DH Awards 2020 are as follows. Once duplicates were removed, the ballots as cast by members of the public over two weeks voting for one or more of the categories chose the winners. Sorry if your favoured resource did not win — open public votes are popularity contests not necessarily a measure of worth and some of the resources campaigned more successfully than the others.
Note: Resources may self-nominate and are not filtered for quality. Winning should not be taken as a measure of importance or quality of resource. Winners may use the icons (if they want). Since this is a DH awareness activity, if lots of people saw your favoured resource, then we all win!
