The results of this year's STC Trans-European competition are out! Although we had fewer entrants than in previous years, the quality and diversity of entries kept our judges busy. We received entries from seven countries, including for the first time from Africa, and in two languages (English and French). Judges were located across 10 countries in Europe and in South Africa.

The Best of Show winner this year is from France. On behalf of the competition committee I'd like to congratulate Ray Gallon of Communication Culture Technologie, which is based in the Hérault region of France. His online entry also won an Award for Excellence. Congratulations Ray!
