I'd say the PGD Annual was one of the most successfull Pascal promotion events during the last years. Because:
* It results in good publicity
* It motivates people doubting about the language to code their next project in Pascal. After all not everyone is a Pascal fanatic.
* It shows what amazing games you can make in Pascal. More in general it convinces people start of the art commercial quality games are no problem in Pascal. It helps eradicate the myth that only C is usable.
* It motivates people planning to write a game to actually write one and finish it.
* It inspires the next generation of Pascal coders who is just learning Pascal and show them that the horrible programming excercises they make one day will make them do great things.

I fully understand organizing the PGD Annual is a hell of a lot of work, and my credits to the people that helped make it happen. We should try to continue this great event to what is in our possibilities.
