Annoucing the Winner of the 2014 GUFF Race
We would like to congratulate Gillian Polack, who is the winner of GUFF 2014.
We would like to thank all the candidates for running an excellent race. We had over 100 votes cast, and the revenue from voting was $1332 in Australia, €78 (minus PayPal fees) and £95 (minus PayPal fees) in Europe. In addition there were auctions held at several conventions. Eastercon raised £195.10, Swancon $159, Continuum $750, Marsonikon €30, and Mihaela still has to total up several other auctions she ran. Thank you to all who ran, voted, donated or bougy for your efforts to keep the fund in good financial shape!
The vote was very close, and we have checked and rechecked each vote, which is why it has taken a while to get back to you with a result. Details of the count are under the cut.
