Neither! It came in second, so your first option is half right. But that is calculated by reassigning all votes for the winner, then rerunning the vote transfers. You edged out They Bloom At Night by 5 votes on the penultimate round. A certain amount of anti-Collins voting going on…

Most entertaining count is the Lodestar Award, won by Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe, which started in fourth place, four votes above the bottom, and avoided elimination on the penultimate round by three votes. Sunrise on the Reaping had by far the most first preferences, but came only fourth.

I am on the road so cannot calculate precisely, but it looks to me like no less than four nominees were only one vote off getting onto the Best Professional Artist ballot - Maurizio Manzieri, Micaela Alcaino, Tom Canty and Lily Selka Jones. Jones would have needed a full value vote.
