After an extremely well-informed and passionately argued debate by competition finalists and speakers from the floor, the motion 'This house would eat GM food' was passed by a majority of the students attending the competition.
The overall winners of the competition, selected by a panel of independent judges for their skills in debating the issues relating to GM food, were George Molyneaux and Anna Crosby of Robert Gordon's School in Aberdeen, who argued against the motion.
The competition, attended by almost 200 students from a mixture of state and private schools across the UK, and teams from St. Johns Ravenscroft School in Canada, was sponsored by the Food Standards Agency as part of its activities to independently assess the views of young people on the acceptability of GM food and how this relates to consumer choice.
But that is not the end of this year's event.
The cameras were there to catch all the action and now free access to the video-on-demand of the awards for easy online viewing is available here now so now you can relive all of the event.
