A reminder of
The Rules
Our rules are simple.
1) Anyone in the space is eligible to win.
2) No one is allowed to apply.
3) There are no entries or nominations, so there are no entry or nomination fees.
4) We decide who wins because, well, we feel like it.
5) Some of our awards are serious. Some are tongue in cheek. All are meant to entertain.
6) We don’t give any trophies or graphics to add to a web page. Winners just get to feel honored that someone with a heavily read web publication is paying attention to them.
