I'm trying a new approach for the Awards page: The award graphics can be viewed by clicking the 'award graphic' link - I wanted to cut down some of the load time for the page by not having them all load immediately. Awards are currently listed in rough approximation of newest-to-oldest within each section.

Aquilus.net: "Aquilus Award of Vampire Perfection"
Site Link -- Winners List -- Award Graphic

"Sorry it took me so long to get this to you. I try to put off sending out awards until I have a few submissions to go through. Anyway, I really enjoyed your site and have been a visitor on and off for a few years now. Keep up the great work! ~Melissa"

The Coven Organization:  "Light In The Darkness" Award
Site Link -- Winners List -- Award Graphic

"Your site has been awarded the Light in the Darkness Award. Sites like yours are an inspiration and truly represent the spirit of the Internet. Not many people have the courage to tackle such a monstrous task as offering help and knowledge to fledgelings. It's comforting to know that with sites like yours, one can feel that he or she is _NOT_ alone out there ... and that there is, indeed, a light in the proverbial darkness....  ~Nitallica"

Gothic Iowegan:  "Holy Cookie of Iowegia"  &  "Silent" Award
Site Link -- Holy Cookie Graphic -- Silent Award Graphic

"...I appreciated the site's content and the sincere effort it represents. Far too many sites simply "front" for alternative purpose or seems to have axes to grind, and can't seem to disassociate their purpose from that. I was most pleased to see that your efforts do not fall into that particular trap :)  ~Belos"

AvatarSearch:  "Mystic Site of the Web Award of Excellence"
Site Link   --   Winners List   --   Award Graphic

(Well, whaddya know... I never got an email for this, but happened to see my site listed under the award winners as I was browsing the site, so it's very cool anyway... ~Sphynx)

"This is to inform you that the website http://sphynxcatvp.nocturna.org/ has been designated a Cool Site in the (dmoz.org) Open Directory section: Society/People/Otherkin/Vampires."

"I simply wanted to commend you for your wonderful resource by marking this site as an "editor recommended" site. It's a wonderful resource and you do a great job keeping it live, updated, and validated. Thanks. -M"

~~~ Awards either no longer being given out, or the originating site is dead ~~~

VampireSite.com:  "Gold Award for Excellence in a Dark Site"
Site Link   --   Winners List   --   Award Graphic

"Thank you for applying to win the Vampire Site website award! I have taken the time to review your site, and I have chosen to give your site our Gold Award, the highest award our site offers. Your website has excellent layout, navigation, content and graphics, and was an absolute pleasure to visit! You have an excellent resource for real vampires, and I applaud you for your efforts to educate both real vampires and the general public. Yours is definitely one of the best real vampire websites on the internet, and your site is a wonderful example of the high standards we set for our gold award winners. ~Stephanie"

(From the Winners List page: "This page is an excellent resource for the real vampire community, as well as the general public. Includes TONS of information about real vampires, awakenings, the vampire lifestyle, and so much more. With excellent layout and navigation, as well as overall design, we highly recommend this page.")

"I would most definitely recommend this site. :o) Which is why I am informing you that your site has been selected from the f.f.a. links at Darkness Embraced for the “link of the month” award for July 2002. I am impressed with your site’s correlativity and assistance to those searching for guidance in the area of what a real vampire truly is. It is truly one of the most prominent gateways of Real Vampire knowledge on the net in which I hope will remain upon the net for years to come."

"This wonderful site insipired me to create an entirly new award catagory...She has the best up-to-date and working links out there on all flavors of vampiric information. She has broken her links down into catagory and subcatagory so one can find exactly what it is they are looning for. Until this point in time, I had required all my winners to maintain the content personally, but the quality of this site made me realize a resource and reference site is just as vaulable as any other. Additionally, her site is made for any and all browsers/configurations/operating systems. No pesky Javascripting errors. Also check out her personal writings and rants"

"This award was inspired by SphynxCat's page which proved to me that a reference/resource site could be as wonderful as any other."

"I have enjoyed very much the info on your site, and to show my appreciation, I have decided to award you with an award...You deserve it!!!"

"Award from The Awakened for excellent real vampire information and support sites"

"I LOVE your site! I just got back from vacation and I want to offer you my Vamp Cool Site award."

"This is a new site (August 1999), put up by SphynxCat...It has sections with resources for blood vamps, psi vamps, blood/psi vamps as well as general psionics; links to message boards, e-lists, articles, FAQs about different types of vampires, and information. I like it because it's well-organized, useful and has easy navigation to find the info that one is looking for."
