After being announced Winner, the following was read out while walking to the stage to collect the Award:

"Paul Miles is Executive Producer of the Kickstart My Heart project - Tribute CD for American band Mötley Crüe, with proceeds going to a children’s cancer research fund. Production of the CD was project-managed and co-ordinated online with involvement of international bands and Pulse Records in Chicago. Mr. Miles used his popular Internet site Chronological Crue - which traces the history of the band - to recruit bands, seek entries for a cover art contest and to keep interested parties up to date. The CD will be launched via the worlds biggest online radio station HardRadio. While proceeds will go to charity, this spare time effort shows a remarkable use of the Internet to create a project and highlights WA skill on the global scene."

Accepting the Award from the Marketing Manager of Yellow Pages, who were Patron of the Arts / Media /Entertainment category.
The past is history... the future is a mystery. This moment is a gift, which is why it's called the present.
Note the huge CD cover on the screen behind. Wow - Allister in their faces!! Passing thanks to the Crüe, and telling all those present to LISTEN to the music.
