Update (2/1/21): I’ve added the video to the Closing Ceremony at the end of this post so that you can watch the Awards getting presented and the announcement of all winners! 
Enjoy! And once again, congrats to all winners and thanks so much for your participation! 
It’s been almost a week since #CommunityLive2020 and this is my FIRST post since then! Getting back to a normal life took longer than I thought plus I’ve been busy editing videos so that we can share them to everyone as soon as humanly possible! I hope you all had a great time with the epic event! As you have probably seen, we are slowly posting our recaps of the various sessions so do keep your eyes peeled for them! I will also be doing a final recap to link all the various posts together so that you can find them easily! And I thought that all the work is done now that the event is over! 
At the Closing Ceremony, we held a special Awards session to highlight the amazing community that we have here and picked a few folks that really shined brightly through their passions and talents! I am thrilled to share with the wider community, those who couldn’t attend the Closing Ceremony, the winners for the #CommunityReviewChallenge.
Note: Just a reminder that these three winners are unranked and were chosen by the Connect and Google Moderators.
8 Types of Indonesian Sambal by @Lusianaa thrilled us with her detailed review of an Indonesian restaurant that served 8 different types of sambal (chili dipping/sauce) depending on the dish you order or if you have a particular liking to any or all of them! 
The post is more than just the review and it gave us a great insight to the various types of sambal! Personally, I’m a huge fan of spicy dipping and we have our own versions in Malaysia so it was very intriguing to compare sambals from both nations!
My favorite review of 2020 on Google Maps #CommunityReviewChallenge by @Zino was also well received by the panel of judges! You’ll have to read the original post to appreciate that information provided plus all the lovely photos of the restaurant/dishes that was shown! As a package, it really transported the reader into the restaurant and clearly described the experience that you would have there!
Last but not the least, we have Old Silver Beach review #CommunityReviewChallenge by @Melissa_Langlois . I had so much ‘fun’ reading out the title of this post during the Awards and making sure I pronounced ‘beach’ correctly! Also a firm favourite for the panel of judges, you can tell by the screenshot that this review is pretty unique! It’s got an excellent use of emojis to perfectly identify the different aspects of the beach that were under review! As a Maps user, I think this is certainly very easy on the eyes and makes finding information easier!
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to all three winners! Your reviews are excellent and I hope that the community will take the time to look at your review style and see what they can learn from them and perhaps incorporate them into their own review methods! For those new to reviewing and wanting to further expand and improve on it, do check out this "how to write a review " post. And you can also watch this video to get some insight to the madness of FAACTS!!
