Dear %PERS_NAME%,

Congratulations to all our SpArta Award winners and finalists 2006

The SpArta Awards night was a huge success. Calisthenics of the mind, Hairy Men Snuff Puppets, Awards galore and the Band Rapture provided the content. Students from ETTI and Pro Stage provided the staging, sponsors provided the awards and you the participants made it happen.

The winners of the awards are listed below with links to further information on our website www.

The SpArta Awards are not just about winners but are a way of highlighting the diversity and value of the SpArt sectors. If we look at the finalist we can see that they came from a variety of areas which all deserve recognition in their own right.

Thank you to those attended, nominees and sponsors. Until next year...
