HarderFaster Awards 2010 - You had your say!
Reported by HarderFaster
/
Submitted 03-03-11 09:01
It's that time again when HarderFaster looks back at who, what and where made the past year memorable and our 2010 poll saw a wider range of votes across more genres than any previous vote. It looks like HF’s tastes are diversifying even further - a very different story from our earlier days when there were normally a few clear winners.
With such a diverse range of votes we've continued to award joint prizes to reflect the spirit of the voting, rather than precise numbers polled, and we hope that the winners will be happy to share their accolades.
So, without further ado, let's get on and reveal the winners!
Clubs
HarderFaster Club Night of the Year 2010
Which was the best overall promotion of the year?
Winner: Twist
Twist returns to previous winning form with a resounding poll success!

Winner: Twist
No messing around this year, Twist reclaim their traditional After Party top spot with ReFre5h in second place.
HarderFaster Day Party of the Year 2010
Don't fancy a late night? This is the daytime party where it's all happening.
Winner: Odyssey
With Trance on Thames taking a break in 2010 we weren’t at all surprised to see Odyssey, our one to watch in 2009 take this prize.
Honourable mention to the HarderFaster Xmas Party, and further congratulations to the HF elves who organised it.
HarderFaster New Party of the Year 2010
