Any clue beginning 'Award' is a bit too pedestrian at this level. No14 would have been in the reckoning had it read 'can/will…take', which (to my mind) is required for grammatical soundness, but I suspect that several judges will not realise this and give it unwarranted points. No1 was my winner for its elegance and simplicity, even though it's not really very hard to solve.
