History in the making!
Sozabarus has finally done it, he's become the first poster to achieve both a win and a Billy. There's been a couple of close calls over the journey (
royboy2 with Under the Bridge and
Call_Me_Floss with American Pie) but this time, he's gone all the way. In addition to an encouragement award, he also goes into the Hall of Fame because that was his 5th win! Also, that was his maiden Billy of the contest so it's all happening for Soza!
