![A Special Thank You [GMV Awards Panel 2017]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RjEsdFPcXB0/mqdefault.jpg "A Special Thank You [GMV Awards Panel 2017]
The Annual GMV Awards of 2017 has come to an end.
Congratulations contestants for your honored and valued edits, you all deserved them!
We sincerely hope you all had a great time editing and developing for the future of GMV editing.
As the host, I appreciate everyone coming forward with their opinions on how they feel in response to the awards and I wish to make a small note here, while we congratulate the winners in the categories, the staff of the awards do notice the others. Each one of the contestants videos were watched and was taken into full consideration when judging in these awards.
We can not award everyone for their participation albeit we wish we could. In turn, I would encourage the head judges to message their category contestants and offer the feedback to them, as it appears that often contestants dont realize they can ask for feedback or feel anxious to ask, so if we politely offer we can give the contestants their feedback of which they deserve to see.
This is my special thank you to all those editors who took their time, their patience, their hard work and their efforts to help be apart of this community and this special annual event.
Thank you everyone. You are amazing. - Lacrymosai
