New Zealand's web creatives came together at the Wellington Events Centre last night for the posh Onyas awards.

This was once the Wellington Town Hall. It's a lovely, Victorian building in lemon meringue colours down by the picturesque waterfront.

People filed in, registered, mingled and then sat at their specific tables. The food and the service was excellent, just like last year; you pays yer money, then boy do you get looked after at Webstock. Many attendees and indeed the speakers can't quite believe their luck.

Here are the results from the annual awards that celebrate all that's good in the Kiwi internet tech space, for design, coding, aptitude, attitude and usability:

Then it was an audio-visual show, then I left to file this story instead of partying down.

True story.
