### <a name="faq0_2"></a>FAQ 0.2: Why do some IOCCC winners receive the Grand Prize or Best of Show award?
In some years, the IOCCC judges discover a truly amazing IOCCC winner that
stands out among all of the other IOCCC entries received that year.
For such an IOCCC winner, the IOCCC judges award a "Grand Prize"
or "Best of Show award.
In 1984-1987, the grand prize winners are:
- [1984/mullender](years.html#1984_mullender)
- [1985/shapiro](years.html#1985_shapiro)
- [1986/wall](years.html#1986_wall)
- [1987/lievaart](years.html#1987_lievaart)
Starting from 1988, the entry we liked the most in that year is called
"Best of Show". Here are the "Best of Show" entries:
- [1988/applin](years.html#1988_applin)
- [1989/jar.2](years.html#1989_jar.2)
- [1990/theorem](years.html#1990_theorem)
- [1991/brnstnd](years.html#1991_brnstnd)
- [1992/vern](years.html#1992_vern)
- [1996/august](years.html#1996_august)
- [1998/banks](years.html#1998_banks)
- [2000/jarijyrki](years.html#2000_jarijyrki)
- [2020/carlini](years.html#2020_carlini)
In 1993, 1994 and 1995 the judges were unable to select a clear overall
winner. So to give a nod to the entry that had the highest approval ranking
from the judges, they used the following awards:
- [1993/rince](years.html#1993_rince) - Most Well Rounded
- [1994/shapiro](years.html#1994_shapiro) - Most Well Rounded
- [1995/leo](years.html#1995_leo) - Best Use of Obfuscation
These could be considered the 'best entry' for those years with 1 or
more other entries that came in close behind.

### <a name="faq2_6"></a>FAQ 2.6: How are IOCCC winners announced?
Once the [IOCCC](https://www.ioccc.org/index.html#enter) closes, the judges
will select the [winning entries](https://www.ioccc.org/years.html) announce them
on the [@IOCCC mastodon feed](https://fosstodon.org/@ioccc), notify the winners
via email using their previously registered email address, and upload the
winning code to the [winner repo](https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner)
which in turn will cause them to be displayed on the [IOCCC winning entries
page](https://www.ioccc.org/years.html).
