Not only did my article get last in its category, it was in the bottom 5 of points won on the whole ballot.
However, I think the results of this year, does indeed show that CrossAffliction's statement of "it's awareness stupid" more accurate than my statement on the flaws of the voting system against strategic voting. The dramatic shorts category was almost in line with the article I had wrote highlighting them, and I do plan on going through and doing that again this year as I think it's just a good thing to do.
Therefore, if the article brought more attention to the the Ursa Majors and got people outside of the self-promotion circles talking about it, then it did its job. It was not designed to win an Ursa itself. I'm grateful and was surprised it was even nominated.
