In August of 2003, it was decided that VFB would have another contest, in honour of & to close on Viggo’s birthday, October 20th. The contest has become a tradition. The winners in each category from the previous year are asked to judge entries in the category they won in, so as to spread things around and not always have the same people winning the same categories. Over the years there have been a few other changes: having several prizes in each category, only one entry allowed per member per category, and changes in the categories themselves.
