Richard,

I guess this will be rather anti-climatic after getting your 5.0 rating ... *grin!*

I get a real kick out of writing letters of congratulations, and this one is even more fun than usual! I have watched your award program grow and flourish and become a highly sought after recognition. I am very proud to have had the honor to call you friend. But now on to the importance of this email:

Congratulations!!!
Your award program has earned a Platinum Level Master of Awards!

Your scores ranged from 94 to 100 points with an overall average score of 97.25. Very impressive! Only two other sites have ever gotten a perfect score from our judges. Here are a few of the "lost" points the judges noted and these are offered as constructive suggestions for tiny improvements to your program, and to show you how you stacked up on our scoring system.

***
-1 This page has a repeated word: http://www.maestroawards.com/win_special.html
Keep keep checking back in future!
-1 http://www.maestroawards.com/win_design.html Has a considerable amount of white space at the bottom.
-1 for a bit of a "crowded" look at 800x600 (some font sizes are very small on a 14" monitor)
-1 point for inconsistent navigation -- noticed most when viewing award winners.
-1 for slow load (could have been web traffic - but occurred on several pages)

There was no one thing that all judges deducted points for, so I would have to say that most of these items are simply a matter of the individual reviewer's opinion. They are very minor deductions to say the least. Other than eliminating the repeated word, I can't say that I would change a thing!

On behalf of the judging panel for NetMagick.Net I want to thank you for the honor of asking us to review your award program.

It was our pleasure!
