Also as you said, it meant more to win at those few cons. Times change though so oh well.

It's the only con where I get comments like "I saw this at Sakuracon" Or "I voted for this one". Other cons, including Acen and AWA don't seem to have the same general or as enthusiastic fanbase (maybe because they are more editor oriented contests).
