We have 33 clues from 18 setters. Loads of great clues to choose from, and 17 people to annoy with my final decision. So here we go:
Honorable mentions to paul @24, aristo @26 and dorrien @35 who had nice container clues. Among the "cricket" clues I liked granama @7 and @12 and paulh @10 (concise!). tyke produced a nice acrostic @16, which I wouldn't have thought possible.
In the "2020 sucked" category special mentions to mattrom @13 and tyke @41 (the latter for perfectly summing up the year while getting it past the censors).
As for the podium, I found it very difficult to pick the winner from these three:
jono @4: Looks sharp, but some might see nothing at all
Brilliant move to interpret the hyphen as a minus sign
mathprof @6: "I Can See Clearly Now" singer died this year.
Topical and ingenious
bigblind @46: Mister or Miss, I do not know. But one embraces the other this year.
"Embraced" the challenge to work with Roman numerals, and I learned about "Mx" (not commonly used over here).
However, for reasons as ineffable as they are indescribable, I feel that the winner this week is:
jono @4: Looks sharp, but some might see nothing at all
Congrats jono. Thanks for participating and Happy New Year to one and all.
Prizes:
Appropriately, a video about nothing (or zero, to be precise):

And a special yearend bonus featuring another reggae great (perhaps the greatest reggae great) who passed away in 2020:
