The coveted Golden Web Award has seen a new incarnation of itself:
http://www.aawebmasters.com/You can even buy trophies!
http://www.aawebmasters.com/trop…Here's a blurb found on a Google search, on a site who won the coveted award:
"The benefits of winning are simple. Only the best sites are voted to receive the Golden Web Award. The criterion for winning remains a challenge to even the best Webmaster, artists and designers. That being said, the primary benefit of the Golden Web Award is the recognition of your commitment to the pursuit of website excellence. Further, it represents that your work is considered an outstanding website, incorporating high standards of design, originality and content. Most importantly, the Golden Web Award lets others know you're viewed as a respected professional by your peers, one who is deserving of recognition."
Seriously, who are the people who really believe in this?

yep, I think it is hilarious, I won a national newspaper association award and a milwaukee press club award for a site that I would not dare post up here. it sucks, but the content is what got it the accolades. these web awards are crap.

It's so laugable when people who don't know better really think they're getting some great award.
All it is, IMHO, is a way for the award people to build a massive e-mail list and sell it out to people. Spam City style!

Yeah, I awarded myself an award this week.
***** The five star coveted website of the decade award.
I chose it from over 10 billion site I looked at since the internet began. It was tough, but I think I deserved it...

I once joined poetry.com, was told my poem was included in this hard copy bound book and i can receive a trophy at some gala dinner with my name engraved on it.
but i was asked to pay for all the above.
- mg330
spongebob, me too!!
I've got three poems on there and I'm so tired of their attempts to get me to pay for something and go to their lame event where the Rockettes play.I wrote back once and said "If my poetry is really worth the acolades you're saying it is, then call me in person and send me money so I know you're serious."
And it bounced back. You can't reply to their stuff.

"At Raptor we are young enough to be still get excited by the creative process - but old enough to never compromise your standards (or our own) to get the job completed. We are young enough to still bring major enthusiasm to the table - but old enough to appreciate that going surfing or snowboarding in the middle of your Project - is just not on. "
