The ceremony was last Thursday. This year's winners are at the top of the page, just thought I'd call it to everyone's attention. I'd actually already heard of some of them (the bottle-humping beetles were mentioned in The Onion once), but I have to say, the Mayor of Vilnius really earned his prize.

SC2k. Build a large city, save, run riots through it until it's all fire and rioters. Eventually, your police & fire stations will all be demolished, and you'll be able to send in the national guard.
Alternatively, call in a couple of hurricanes, and poof. No more rioters or fire.Indifference is Bliss
