Elisa - My reviews and Ramblings (original) (raw)
This cycle of the Rainbow Awards saw 348 submissions, almost 10.000$ donated to various charities and the volunteering of almost 100 readers in 3 continents.
Below the list of winners and runners up for each category. Please be aware that most of the time just 0.1 point was between a winner and a runner up. For me all the submissions are winners, because they contributed to awesome LGBTA charities.
