We also recognised those who are set to shape future standards, with the presentation of this year’s Yellow Pencils and the Black Pencil, which this year was awarded to Lowe/SSP3's Rivers of Light alone.
But of course that was only part of the night.
The after party kicked off at 10.30pm and ended in the wee hours of the next morning. Grammy Award winners De La Soul headlined the evening and got the crowd going with classics such as 3 is the Magic Number. They were followed by Jonquil and Nina Hynes.
Photos, including The Blank Sheet Project’s photobooth, can be seen on Facebook. For those of you who weren't able to attend, you can get a glimpse of the action through our live stream, hosted by Simon Manchipp.
