How the winners were decided:
For the 15 regular awards: The community gave two votes to its top candidate, and one vote to its second-highest candidate. The jury members had one vote each, and a jury member could not vote for himself (but he could choose not to vote). In the case of a draw, the candidate ranked highest by the community won.
For the Community Award: Here the community's votes decide everything.
The community votes: (when there are an equal amount of points, the one with the most 5-pointers is ranked higher, if same amount of 5-pointers then the one with most 4-pointers, etc.
I have only shown the top5 here.)

Least amount of votes for a winning candidate went to Zworqy's site for Site: It got 2 votes, and was drawn with two other sites (the decider was the amount of 5-pointers from the community).
Most 5-pointers from the community in the Third Step went to Mielz for Rookie, with 15 5-pointers.
Most votes for one candidate from the community in the Third Step went to adi for Externalist, with votes from 22 people.
Most points for one candidate from the community in the Third Step went to Zweq for Internalist, with 97 points.
There was a draw in two categories: Designer and Site. The number of community points was then of course the decider.
Zweq won the Internalist and the Battler awards for the third years in a row.
adi for Externalist, Ramone for Designer and Kopaka for Contribution won their awards for the second year in a row.
Speeches:
Start speech:
[19:01:00] <SveinR> 20:00 EET Greetings, welcome to the 7th annual Golden Apple Awards!
[19:01:09] <SveinR> This channel is +m so only operators and voiced people will be able to talk, use #across for free talk. Stupid nick changes will result in a ban.
[19:01:19] <SveinR> The are 16 categories and five candidates in each category. The candidates have been chosen by the jury and the community, click here for more info:
http://mopolauta.moposite.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6552
[19:01:27] <SveinR> The jury consists of six members: BoneLESS, igge, Kopaka, Markku, Raven and SveinR
[19:01:34] <SveinR> The winners are determined by community votes and jury votes. In the event of a tie, community votes matter.
[19:01:46] <SveinR> If I get disconnected and won't come back for an hour, the show will be postponed to the same time tomorrow.
[19:02:08] <SveinR> -----------------------------------------------------
[19:02:30] <SveinR> Ok, so with the formalities under way, we move on to the first category of the evening!
01. Internalist, Zweq
[19:06:32] <SveinR> Zweq does not seem to be present
[19:06:53] <SveinR> apparently he's hanging out with juzam somewhere :)
[19:07:20] <SveinR> Well, congratulations to him anyway, it's certainly well deserved
02. Externalist, adi
[19:11:07] <adi_MiE> Thanks! This is my second win in this category, and last time I didn't prepare a speech because I didn't belive I could win. Anyway, last year was pretty special to me since I got a new cool team, so I'd like to thank my teammates nick-o-matic, roope, Koopa, Bliz, -Nico-o and Dead One.
03. Battler, Zweq
[19:15:57] <igge> Who, unfortunately, is not present at the moment
[19:16:10] <igge> A well deserved win though
04. Rookie, Mielz
[19:19:49] <Mielz|EF> Thanks! Im glad i won my first GAA :) Id like to thank to team EF and all people who helped me a lot, especially Morgan and Bjorn. Without their help it would be much harder for me in the beggining in the scene. Thanks again!
05. Designer, Ramone
[19:29:07] <Raven|> Ramone doing some real life at the moment, so let's hear his speech later.
[...]
[20:16:43] <RamoneTAP> I would like to thank all who voted for me.
[20:16:50] <RamoneTAP> And as long as I keep enjoying elma I will keep making levels.
[20:17:01] <RamoneTAP> Levmaking comes more natural to me than playing lately.
[20:17:09] <RamoneTAP> Since I make much levels quite fast Belma and me seems to be the perfect wedding.
[20:17:17] <RamoneTAP> Otherwise all levels just stays unplayed on my computer.
[20:17:27] <RamoneTAP> So once again, thanks to all who voted for me.
[20:17:34] <RamoneTAP> Also, great thanks to mila and zworqy for Belma.
06. Team, WNO
[19:36:24] <John--> On behalf of whole WNO (I guess) I'd like to thank you all for this award. The 3 of us remaining in the team has now stuck together since fall of 2003, about 6½ years. Let's hope we stick together a few years more... Thanks!
07. WR, Jarkko
[19:43:31] <Jarkko^> Thanks, I don't know what to say.

[20:10:55] <RamoneTAP> anyway, zebra was the brain behind Banana Cup.
[20:11:08] <RamoneTAP> He had worked on ideas for this cup in his head for ages.
[20:11:27] <RamoneTAP> Then when it came closer to accually make it. It was me and Zebra who made most levels,
[20:11:55] <RamoneTAP> with this we had great fun. My first good teamexperiece.. we tested ideas and levels for hours
[20:12:05] <RamoneTAP> and days, over and over again.
[20:12:15] <zebraTAP_> bananacup won?
[20:12:23] <SveinR~> yeh :)
[20:12:23] <Kopaka> yes
[20:12:23] <igge> yes :)
[20:12:35] <zebraTAP_> thanks, elma scene has a good taste :)
[20:12:52] <zebraTAP_> fear of the banana comeback, the banana cup 3 :)
[20:13:12] <RamoneTAP> So, planning and hosting Banana Cup with zebra was one of best times I had with elma all these years!
[20:14:34] <zebraTAP_> yep it was great time
[20:14:35] <RamoneTAP> So, great thanks! Really appreciated!

12. Contribution, Kopaka
[20:24:35] <Kopaka> Thank you!
[20:24:56] <Kopaka> two years in a row :)
[20:25:32] <Kopaka> I don't know what to say, I just love elasto mania and keep doing all this stuff because of it :)
[20:26:18] <Kopaka> cheers to everyone else out there who does stuff like website, contests, cups, levels, ect. ect. who makes this scene what it is!
13. Achievement, John
[20:32:48] <John--> Thanks! It was a great feeling going under 36.00 in the early morning of June 29th after being "stuck" on 36.0x for so long, I guess I can consider this feat the greatest thing I've accomplished in the scene. It's pretty amazing how Elma is always developing. Every so-called impossible limit through the years has been broken so far and although I don't see myself or anyone else going under 35 minutes anytime soon it will most likely happen one day. It fe
[20:34:03] <John--> It feels like a new internalwave has evolved recently with a bunch of exciting players. Only time will tell what they will be capable of doing. Thanks again, I appreciate it :)
[20:34:06] <John--> :p
14. Site, Zworqy
[20:42:32] <zw0r> OMG! I'm so happy! I haven't prepared anything, but I would like to thank everyone who used my site and voted for it.
[20:42:42] <zw0r> *takes a bow*
15. Art, Jappe2
[20:49:27] <Jappe2> fuck you
[20:49:34] <Jappe2> i really have nothing to say
[20:49:44] <Jappe2> during the past year i have grown to hate this scene
[20:50:06] <Jappe2> and the total inability of the people in "power" to do anything to this mongoness, the scene has gone to hell
[20:50:19] <Jappe2> so fuck you all idiath cunts
[20:50:34] <Jappe2> there was this blissfull time when i couldnt really care if you guys died or not
[20:51:00] <Jappe2> but nowadays im hoping many of you would just die a horrible painfull death
[20:51:51] <Jappe2> there are few exceptions of course, like kopaka etc
[20:52:20] <Jappe2> also i enjoy trading child porn with ramone, he always has the kinkiest stuff
[20:52:26] <Jappe2> ok im done now
16. Community Award, Kopaka
[20:54:39] <SveinR~> The Community Award goes to a kuski who by the creation and public release of his Automated Cup source code and website, first used on his own very successful cup, has led to an explosion of new cups and made life easier for a lot of cup organizers.
[20:54:49] <SveinR~> His site, which he has maintained for many years, has grown to become the biggest site for external contests in the scene. In addition to his own levels, it includes a wealth of levelpacks by others.
[20:55:01] <SveinR~> Soon the Elasto Mania world will see the release of Elma Online, and a large part of the scene will then revolve around something this guy has been working on for a long time: The Elma Online site.
[20:55:10] <SveinR~> This is a guy who for many many years has contributed to the scene and made the experience of being in it that much better. His contributions certainly has not gone unnoticed, thank you very much and congratulations...
[20:55:19] <SveinR~> Kopaka!
[20:55:45] <Kopaka> thank you everybody who voted!
[20:55:51] <Kopaka> and to sveinr for the nice speech :*
[20:55:58] <SveinR~> :*
[20:56:56] <Kopaka> I hope everyone will enjoy the EOL site once it's released
[20:57:30] <Kopaka> please feel free to contact me for any wishes/bugs ect. for the EOL site so we can make it as good as possible :)
[20:57:57] <Kopaka> I feel like I've kinda neglected kopasite lately, but I have some big plans there once eol is released :p
[20:58:28] <Kopaka> thanks again, I hope we can all enjoy this scene for many years to came, as the last 8 years that I've been here has been great! :*
End speech:
