Thanks to all of you who tuned in last night for the digital livestream of the 20th Annual Bar Awards. There were lots of happy faces on Zoom and lots of parties and around the country, so thank you all for making the event a big success.
A huge shout out must go to our sponsors as without their support, we wouldn’t have been able to put this show on.
Of course, we knew going digital was going to be tricky, so we appreciate all of you being patient with us when the power went off in the studio we were streaming from.
If you didn’t manage to tune in last night to our live feed on Facebook, you can always recap the whole event by clicking here for part one and here for part two. But if you just want a quick rundown of all the winners from tonight’s digital stream, here they are:
