Myself, Gunny, Jocko, with the help of Glen Tilley and Phil Wlodarczyk.
We had how to vote cards, dares, all sorts of stupid things pushing for us to get the award. We never expected to actually get the bastard, in fact, not getting it was sort of the point. The Friday Night before the awards, Norman Gunston was hosting the Logies, and we joked that it was an omen. And we won. And I had to stick the award down my trousers on stage.
Mind you, issue one went though several print runs and we eventually worked out that there had been over 400 copies produced. It's not hard to win when everyone has a free copy of the 'zine. Plus we were funny.
We were absolutely horrified a few years later when people put out real how to vote cards. We did it as a pisstake, because it'd be such a silly thing to do.
