The Goldies (Guardian Outstanding Local Discovery awards) turns 25 this year, making this its silver issue.
Veteran photographer duo Saul Bromberger and Sandra Hoover — who have been photographing Goldies winners for 18 of the awards' 25 years — returned this year to deliver the amazing photo of masked DJ Nebakaneza for the cover.
Even though the cover photo was appropriately silver, I couldn't resist pouring gold glitter all over my desk, photographing it, and adding to the headline. Because this year, silver's also gold.

Here's another photo of the cover star, because it's just too good:
