So we announce the "Top 40" User Showcase Awards...to the top 41 contributors of 2017 – a free Band-in-a-Box 2018 UltraPAK for Windows (including the 49 PAK bonus)
We’ve reviewed the contributions from Jan 1 to Dec 31, 2017, and have based the results on a combination of the following criteria:
- great compositions/arrangements/productions - use lots of Band-in-a-Box or RealBand (RealTracks or MIDI) - most contributions - other contribution to the forum (songwriting tips etc.) - haven't won before (not an absolute requirement) - haven't already got a free version from beta testing etc.

To collect your award, please contact marketing@pgmusic.com (by Feb 28, 2018) (attn: Callie), and provide details of where you want it to be sent. (don't forget to let her know your Forum name)
If you've already purchased 2018, we will refund your purchase price. If you already have BB 2018 via another means (beta testing etc.), then you can designate "someone else" to receive it (just send that info privately in your email).
If you're a Mac user, you can either get 2017 UltraPak or request a raincheck for the 2018 Mac UltraPak when it comes out.
Once again, thanks to all the creative people who create, produce and share these wonderful songs!
Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.

Honoured to be included in the showcase awards amongst so many people I admire and respect. Congratulations to all of them.
So, a big thank you to Peter Gannon and all the staff at PG Music for the award, but also for producing such an amazing program as BiaB. It really has changed for ever, the way I write and record music.
Cheers, ROG.

This continues to AMAZE me.
What other company would DO this? Like having the community of this forum isn't reward enough? Like having this MAGICAL product to realize the best potential of our music isn't enough? To have the people who "keep it going" and keep it energized "recognized" in this way is mind-boggling.
AMAZING.
Congratulations to all the awardees. It's a good list - a varied list of styles and influences, locales and personalities.
Y'all done good.
Thank You, Dr. Gannon - and all the folks at PGMusic. You make our lives better.

Honoured to be included in the showcase awards amongst so many people I admire and respect. Congratulations to all of them. You beat me to it and said it better than I probably would've, so in a true "if it's not broken, don't fix it", I'm nicking this as my sentiment  p.s. I see this has already been quoted once, I have a feeling it will be again before this is over EDIT: p.s.p.s. I also have a nasty suspicion that the only reason I made the cut is because that adds such an obscure country to your bragging list - and I'm the only one from it who's active on here!

Thank you, Dr. Gannon! Your generosity never fails to amaze me.
It's an honor to be listed among such a long list of very talented musicians, singers, composers and songwriters.
The friendly, family atmosphere exhibited here by folks at all levels of musicianship is not found anywhere else on this planet.
Thanks again for this wonderful award and to all other awardees for their contributions to Users's Showcase. Such fantastic music.
