More than a hundred prizes have been awarded during the 2024 World Countries Awards, the most prestigious international award ceremony in the world. A night to remember for the people of Christmas Island as they swept nearly all the awards available.
Historic Win For Christmas Island
The Christmas Island team could hardly hide its excitement as the celebrations went on. “Are we surprised? Not really”, Christmas Island Team leader told the journalist, speaking just after receiving the award for Most Humble People In The World.
It turns out that due to a tiny logistical concern, only votes from the Christmas Island judges has been counted. However, organizers emphasized that the issue could not have had any impact on the final outcome.
