The contest is over and the winner is Jeff Moden!

Champagne!

I won’t repeat all the reasons why I think that Jeff deserves the award, I just want to say that I could not agree more with this result.

To say it with Grant Fritchey’s (blog|twitter) words: “Of the year? I think I’d put it down to of the decade, but that’s not what the contest was.”

The exceptional DBA 2011 Jeff Moden will receive:

• a trophy at PASS Summit 2011
• a full conference registration for theSummit
• four nights’ accommodations and $300 in travel expenses
• a copy of Red Gate’s SQL Toolbelt

Congratulations Jeff, well deserved.
