Call this my "I Love Me" Page...*grin* Please note, I don't solicit this site for awards. These have only been given through the free will of a visitor to this site. If you have an award that deserves to be on this page, I thank you profusely. Earning awards is not my goal...helping college Pagans is the focus of this site. You, too, may win one of the awards offered through this site! See below for details....

Here are the awards this site has won:

The Award of Excellence from the Avatar Search. As an added bonus, they give a gold dot by your site name when it comes up on a search to note that you have won their award.

The Top 100 Award from The Circle of Isis, an example of a good cyber-coven for teens.

The Green's Review of Sites, TOP 10 for Lughnasadh, 1999.

Gaxynon's Gaxtravaganza

And, it's only fair that if I'm receiving awards, I should give them, as well. Beware: I have incredibly high standards! Read the Notes below for important guidelines for all awards, then continue to apply.

College Pagan Web Award of Excellence

This award is for College Pagans and Groups. SPECIFICALLY College Pagans and Groups. Hey, it's what this site is about, so I need to have a special award to focus on. :) The applicant must be a college student, alumnus, about to enter college, or of similar age (such as military, student-age Pagans who are working, etc.), and the site must be beneficial to the practice of Paganism, specifically for other college and college-age Pagans. (Teens can apply for the Pagan Web Award of Excellence.)

Pagan Web Award of Excellence

This award is for "Other" Pagan sites. Sites particularly geared towards teens or other themes are included. Must be more than just a "Basics" web site, and should include text mostly of your own composition.

Requirements for both awards: The site must be more than a list of spells, rituals, and links. We're talking a unique idea, here. Typos, grammatical errors, and broken links should be at a minimum. Points are given for design, such as colors, themes, and good use of animated .gifs, Flash, or other technological wonders. I should be able to load it as fast or faster than this site. Music and sound, if used, should be carefully chosen and have the option to be turned off.

Superior Site of the Pagan Web You can NOT solicit for this award. It is ONLY given on my judgment. Don't worry...I surf the web a LOT and may run across your site. I will also scan the entrants for the College, and Pagan categories.

Requirements: The site must be interesting, with a good use of graphics, high-quality content, and most importantly it must have a lot of ORIGINALITY. Typos and grammar mistakes should be at a minimum. Broken links are to be avoided at all cost. Your site must not only be interesting, but it should give me a good reason to want to come back. (In other words, constant updating is a real bonus. Bribery works well, too. *grin*)

Notes: Here's where I spell "Witch" with a "B" instead... *grin*

1) Originality, interest, maturity, and design are the keys for all the awards. I have surfed the Pagan web for over four years now, and can generally identify if I have read a text or seen an image several times. I'm a stickler for giving credit where it's due...if I see something that I recognize from a different site, I will point it out to you. You can re-apply for an award later. If credit is still not given and I know the source, I may even report it to the originator. (Example: The Twinkie Pagan Essay.)

2) I will only give one award per site. Superior Site Awards will be rare...don't be disappointed if you don't receive it. However, if you do receive it, please have the decency to not place it AND the award you applied for on your site.

3) If you don't receive an award, I will try to tell you why. (If I don't immediately respond to a request, it's only because I haven't had the time to get around to it yet.) You can make changes, and re-apply later. HOWEVER, if I deny you an award and you still take it (they are personalized, so I'll know), I will put you in the Hall of Shame and humiliate you and your website. (Scorpio rising...what can I say?)

4) I will send the image to you through e-mail since it will be personalized. Please put it on YOUR OWN server and link it back here. (Copy the code I send you.) DO NOT just link back to this site and steal bandwidth. Now of course, I won't give awards to people who steal bandwidth, anyway. So if you happen to do it because you have not had the chance to upload, I'll let you off with a warning. If this is not changed, I will strip you of credit for the award and also place you in the Hall of Shame, complete with aforementioned humiliation.

How to Apply for an Award:

! Include the name of the award you're applying for, the title of your site, the address of your site, your name, a brief description of your site and why you think your site should win an award. Okay, yes, I'm being quite picky, but like I said, I have high standards and I like to know why you think your page stands out above the rest. Good luck!
