It was very very close marks for the 6 finalists making for a very exciting prize giving announcement of the results in the later afternoon. Until that prize giving moment, only the CIA points auditors knew the result that was so eagerly awaited by everyone. The jury rules do not allow talking amongst the jury so you can imagine, the jury members were all eagerly wanting to learn the results too!
