As I said the over all winner went to Auckland's The Downlow Concept,directors of the controversial video for The Hot Grits song Headlights.
In the Music Video featured children drinking milk as if it was hard liquor and was reportedly banned by TVNZ for exploiting children. Unsurprisingly, that video also won the category award for Best Exploitative Tactics.
