Many nominees found that being involved in the awards process provided light during the darkest days of the pandemic.

Bravo!" –Virginia McCollam, ZEROZEROZERO " I'm very appreciative of the recognition, and it was a welcome reprieve from the upheaval and uncertainty of our time!" –Adrian Knight/LMGI, LITTLE AMERICA " Thank you for everything you all do and the wonderful much needed energy you brought to my team during a really rough time." –Trevor Brokop, SEE " Isaiah Mustafa's positive energy and comedic timing, with all the creative backgrounds, was the perfect antidote for these pandemic times..." –Brian Kinney/LMGI, PERRY MASON "We are proud of all the winners and participants," concludes Balton. "From the diffi cult work of vetting the record-breaking numbers of submissions to enlisting top talent, we produced a great one-hour awards show that entertained an international audience. We timed the show to maximize global members' ability to watch—and the live chatroom interaction was immensely rewarding. We took a chance, and ended up stronger for it, with absolutely the best LMGI Awards to date." Best of all, we were able to connect with each other. No matter where in the world we were, we were all in the same room, celebrating as a community. We had faced the moment and made it ours! HERNAN DAL MASO NOMINEE, SPRITE
