Enough said. This is serious topic. Seriously.

Alright then, in all seriousness, I will cast my vote for a few specialty awards.
Development Award: 2nd Symphony in B Minor by GuruXander6060. Starts out simple with the coins and shy guys forming a base from which the rest of the piece is based. It then adds the hearts seamlessly onto the other instruments. Each instrument has its own part which they each share the melody. After resetting onto the base lines, the cars are added to the mix. The cars start out as a counter melody to the strings; it was logically and beautifully executed. However, the cars soon develop a life of its own with its wonderfully harmonies, trills, and graces. After repeating again, the song retrogresses down to the strings and then just the coins. It flows very well by not announcing the departure of each instrument, but rather slowly eases it downwards to a quiet rest. However, the ending was a bit abrupt I must say. Nevertheless, it was in my opinion the most developed piece due to its easy simple beginnings, seamless transitions, good counters and harmonies, and a (for the most part) logical ending.
Yes, I will split up this post for now. Need a minute to gather my thoughts, but I don't want to risk losing this post because of something stupid I did.

That's perfectly fine; it's a hard decision to make. Take your time.

That, kind sir, is probably the most detailed analysis of a piece I have had the pleasure to read. And about the ending... Yeah... I didn't really want to interfere with the coins' base melody too much, because it isn't actually heard during the piece all too well (what with strings and hearts to blot it all out). So I tried to make the ending itself quite short. But maybe it was all a bit too... hmmm... "Look at me, I'm playing a son- AH, it's finished now", if you get my meaning...

And cat333pokemon PMed me with a vote for the awards that have ties to be broken:
(Development:) The first two were fairly difficult to choose between, but I'll settle on 2nd Symphony. It sounds a lot like a classical song from the 19th century and the instruments fit together very nicely.
(Climactic:) For the second two, it was actually a bit easier. My vote goes to SonicFan113 because the piece appears to have a lot more work put into it and the output has a more climactic feel to it over WaluiJ(ay)'s submission.
This means that all awards have been decided. Thanks a lot to cat333pokemon and kacelano for helping determine these final winners.
The results of the voting are now out!
