Welcome back to the first annual AFA Awards Ceremony, I know a lot of you are excited to be here and are more than ready for some awards! And so, I am here to introduce to you, our first category and the first seven of the awards we are going to be giving out this evening.

Supernatural art has certainly flourished in the last year, and with the introduction of new characters in season three, we have had more variety in our “group” wallpapers than in the past, with artists pairing up Sam & Ruby, or Dean & Bela, it’s been a nice change from the mountains of Sam & Dean pieces we’ve had before. But, of course the brothers are always better together - and most of our nominations featured Sam & Dean Winchester. And the winners of this category, are as follows…

[slaycandy]

I am fairly certain I have credited all the right people for all the right awards on my posts, but I had to do some swapping to try and avoid people winning their own, so may have credited the original makers instead of the re-allocated ones somewhere along the way, :S I have checked and think I have done them all right though, so sorry if I don't credit you correctly!

We are now moving on with the show, and delving right into our 7th category of the night, Best Supernatural Character Wallpaper.

Even although Supernatural has a small cast, our two leading roles Sam and Dean have such a charismatic and endearing presence on our screens that we just can help but art them. The majority of our entries featured Dean, but we also had a couple of Sam, Ruby and even Meg pieces in there. And our winners are…

And now for our very last set of awards from this category grouping, we are about release the Best Supernatural Episodic Wallpaper awards. 2007 has seen some absolutely awesome Supernatural episodes airing on TV which have inspired some really gorgeous pieces of art, but it’s nice to see that not all of our nominees are season two and three, we did have a few from the first season in there too! Let’s just hope that the next four episodes are inspiring, and that we get a fourth season so we can have this award again next year! ;) And, now, on with the show…
