Up next is the Mario Awards XX closing by Roserade!
 
So, another star-studded ceremony comes to a close. While the awards festivities continue past this point, we draw the curtain on this stage, and move on to other community happenings.

Though this awards season is a celebration of twenty years, it is also, vitally, a season just like any other. A season of inventiveness, dedication, and triumph - as we've seen before, and as we'll see again. It is because of all of you, your consistency and interest in our passion project, that the Awards Ceremony flourishes every year. Thank you for tuning in, and thank you for participating; be this your first year or your twentieth, your contributions and energy are just as vital for our event.

For more specific gestures of appreciation, thank you to our wonderful Awards Committee for support throughout the season, and for pulling together the suite of polls that led to these wonderful presentations. Thank you in particular to team member TPG, whose fresh ideas for certain polls and work on the character bracket added an extra vigor to our season. Thank you to our Bonus Star contributors, especially Camwoodstock and BMfan08 whom stepped freshly into the role this year. Thank you to all of our presenters, and a super-special thank you to Zange, Hint Toad, and woglril for creating back-up presentations with just as much love and craft as any others. And as always, an absolute mountain of thank you's goes to my fellow Clown Car members: Ninja Squid, Waluigi Time, Hooded Pitohui, and Lakituthequick, without whom this season literally could not happen. Your know-how, integrity, and commitment to this event have been essential to our preparation, and I'm so proud of you for it. Thank you for your professionalism, your late nights, your timely coordination... and above all, thank you for being my friends.

With the closure of every Awards Ceremony, there remains a kinetic magic in the air. Call it the creative spirit, call it stardust, call it the essence of this community, call it something else entirely. However you name it, if you're feeling that tingling sense of accomplishment and draw to celebrate further, I encourage you to hold it firmly in your hands. There are so many miraculous minds here in this community, so many projects worth pursuing, stories worth telling. Sink your teeth into what excites you, be it wiki work, murder mysteries, character narratives, artistic technique. Draw upon that which invigorates, and let your time here be defined by what you love. When we share in it together and find connection points in this passion, that's when we create a whole new constellation to marvel at.

Our evening reaches its conclusion. If you haven't already, make sure you grab some fresh air and a bite to eat. Take care of yourself. We'll see you tomorrow.
