I finally finished the shortlists before the end of the year. No shortlists for MVP (Most valuable 2005 contribution from the above areas) or Breakthrough artist of the year categories necessary I feel as they may well come from those previously mentioned.
The New Year will see me make those difficult final choices.

Best interactive/installation 2005
Less full-on interaction here than I expected compiling, so I surprised myself in that this section became more about the interaction between the artworld and digital culture/moving image.

Janet Cardiff (Forty-Part Motet sound sculpture)
Toshio Iwai (Electroplankton for Nintendo DS)
