Spain’s Festival Celsius 232 committee revealed the Premios Kelvin 505 winners on June 27.

The trophies are scheduled for presentation at Festival Celsius 232 which takes place July 19-23 in Avilés, Spain.

Incidentally, the committee has a little rule that the winner has to pick up the hardware in person:

The Kelvin are only delivered in Avilés. Kelvin only travel in the suitcase of their rightful owners. Kelvin are like Thor’s hammer or Arthur’s sword. If the winner of a Kelvin is not present to pick it up, it will faithfully wait in Limbo for Expectant Kelvins until it appears the following year, or the next, or the next … The Kelvins take a breath to Cthulhu, so they are eternal , you know. And very patient.
