Welcome to the annoucnement of the winners of the 2014 Unown Awards!
Before we begin, I'd like to thank everyone who made the Unown Awards possible. Kevin for creating TPM, Dark San and Number1ChanseyFan for hosting them in the past, and everyone who showed interest in keeping this going this year and for your patience. Yeah, it's been hard for me to do this with everything going on in my life, but I actually want to thank everyone for giving me the motivation. I was very disappointed that I might not be able to do it again this past year, so again, thank you all for keeping this going.
Anyway, this has been an interesting year. We have a posthumous winner, and a winner who isn't even a person, not to mention all those membes who didn't win last year but got a second chance this year and won it all!
Now, I'd like to start off by finally revealing one of the main reasons for the multiple delays, while usually designing, creating, and perfecting the trophies is a months-long process for me, I had to crank these out on a much shorter time scale, but I have finally finished them! For some reason, the image isn't uploading right now, so I'll have to post it as an attachment. Forgive the white background.

And now, the big moment, time to announce the winners!
In 2014 we said goodbye to one of our members. Zak Hunter's battle with cancer led to his inactivity from TPM, but he still came back in 2014 to say his final goodbyes before passing away in July. He was known in his earlier days for signing his posts with one simple word. So, it only seems fitting that we return the favor, and present Unown A posthumously to him:
Adieu - Tainted
