So the Seekers Choice Awards are happening this week-end.  This is the day where we get to know who, in each category, has won over the hearts of the judges and of the public.

In the months of March, April and May, the public was asked to nominate and then vote for who they thought deserved the highest honours.  The list was narrowed down to 5 finalists.

Because of time constraints, only the top 5 will be announced at the event, but here are the top 10 in each category for you to explore.
