It's not just a darts event. It's an occasion.
Some people even pop over just for a drink or two.
What a load of bollocks.

Tommy, if you are reading this.
That is one dreadful piece of promotional material.
I would be embarrassed if that was produced for an organisation I was part of.

Personally, I like the black outline box around the image of Kong, Ana's shirt blending into the background, the random capitalisation of the word "fund" and, for no reason whatsoever, the word "iconic" being in inverted commas.

Its a feast for the eyes.

By the EDO? Yes, I believe so.
Les France ran it for years beforehand, with his pen and paper and carrier pigeon.

Imagine that poor carrier pigeon having to carry one of Howard's 'short' press releases.

I only ask, as the "brilliant" website only lists the previous winners up to 2015.

Jesus fek, he even puts an essay at the top of the previous winners page :DDD:

https://www.isleofmandartsfestival.com/previous-winners

And Sparky is correct. No previous winners listed since 2015, which include "BrianWoods" and "Jeffrey DeGraaf"

I know "iconic" is a pisstake, but someone obviously thought that was good, and not in a "ironically crap" way?
