Don Chisholm, Issued on 19 June 2000 for contributions he has made towards the Internet, his advice to myself and others, and his hard work maintaining the best awards index page in the world: "The Awards Worksheet".

Although I do not know Don well enough as I would like it to be, he has been known for his hard work and dedication towards the Internet community, without asking a cent. I learned about Website Awards website in late 1998, when I applied for my first awards, following a link from an awards site to discover "The Worksheet" This is also the home of the Worlds Top Awards, and of course the Superb! Awards program. World class articles about awards, written by some of the world best web designers / awards program owners and the Awards tutorials are just some of the recommended resources.

David Bancroft, Issued on 03 August 2000 for exceptional work and contributions towards the Internet. David owner of  Award Sites!, maintains "the worlds premier awards rating website", giving thousands of eager and learning webmasters the opportunity to apply for the best awards available on the Internet.

Personally, I have no idea who this Master is behind "simply the best". What I do know is, is that David must have spent thousands of hours by keeping his monstrous website current, and deal with hundreds of e-mails everyday, ranging from applications, upgrades and complaints - a formidable task, which is in my opinion an unmatched feat.  Whenever you visit Award Sites!, hopping from one page to another in your quest of being honored for your hard work, just pause for a moment and think about the master who has made this all possible for YOU. We applaud and thank you for this, David!
 

Please note:

This accolade stand completely apart from my awards current awards program, and can not be applied for. Also, it has no rank nor rates - but surely this is my most difficult one to get!
