I have to agree with Steve, $50 per site entered, sounds like a money making scheme rather than a real award. You shouldn't have to pay to win an award, if Steve has done only 10 sites this year, that's $500. I'd love to know how many sites are registered and how much cash they make. However,

I've seen people get awards in a number of categories over the years - very few can say they actually gained anything other than honour and glory as a result. In fact in Singleton Advertising, it's a sackable offence to submit an ad to an awards programme. The only award I have first hand

Well I was fairly negative earlier but i can see no downside to applying at all, and i could be wrong. If you built a site that wins you could easily prove me wrong by having a flood of work coming in as a result. So I guess i shouldn't have been quite as negative as i was. There's no harm

Whats with the negativity, think of it this way, if you win an award run by an INDEPENDENT community run group, i think it will count for alot, especially if there is some sort of link publishing the winners (i am assuming there is, pretty silly if there isn't one). At the end of the day, I

I've seen this some time ago with CF7 (or it may even have been 6?) when I was running cfindex on PDFs. CF was running on solaris and the issue appeared to be something to do with some encrypted PDFs from memory (this was some years ago). You're not doing anything like that are you? 2009/6/30
