A special mention about this year, is the r enaming of the original Supreme Award to The Myles Sellers Award, which is the most poignant award of the evening. Hugely talented and dearly loved by all, Myles Sellers was greatly passionate about the industry. He worked tirelessly to bring much-needed recognition, appreciation and change to the industry. He was involved in developing the concept of the awards.
