Fantastic Big Chip!

Great atmosphere, superb winners at the 12th annual Big Chip awards.

Big winners at last night's Big Chip awards were Lightbox Education and Stardotstar.

Lightbox walked away with the prestigious Grand Prix as well as the Best Public Sector Project for MP for a Week - "a uniquely credible and intriguing view of the political process" said the judges.

Stardotstar landed three of the chunky star-shaped awards including the coveted Big Chip New Media Agency award, along with Best Application of Technology for their Nosey Parker iPhone app, and Best E-learning with Things to come.
