At the presentation was the Runner Up and the Winner, neither knew who had won until it was announced. Nathan won the award for 2011.

This is the 3rd year that Frecheville has had their nominations in the last 2, previously it was a joint effort in 2009 with Dean Smith & Daniel Kempton who came runners up and last year Laura Payling won the category same as Nathan has this year.
