After much debate, we narrowed down all the uploads to FourDocs from the last year to 17 docs. Thanks to all of you for contributing to FourDocs, whether you've been nominated or not. And this is by no means the last prestigious competition we'll be running.
The winners from the following list were decided by a panel of three - Roger Graef, documentary-maker extraordinaire; Patrick Uden, Executive Editor of FourDocs; and Kate Vogel, the commissioning editor for the Three Minute Wonder strand on Channel Four. The winners will be shown as a Three Minute Wonder on C4, as well as participating in the Sheffield Documentary Festival and being screened there at loads of different events.
