Mon, 20 Aug 2007 14:36:30

After several weeks of not going to this site, I saw that there are still people who submitted their sites even though I already announced that this year's awards event has been canceled. So, I've finally had time to remove the nomination form.

Please, please, please read the news on this page for announcements regarding this event since I don't have time to modify each and every static content on this site. Thank you.

Sorry, guys. This year's awards will be canceled. Due to my schedule, I am unable to manage this event. I'm extremely sorry to those who were looking forward to it (if there are any).

The nomination form is still up and working because I couldn't find the time to take it down. Any submissions will not be entertained.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Well, as you can see, it's already June 2nd and I still haven't changed the design to make it updated for the latest season. Life's been happening to me and I've been extremely busy with several projects.

I've made the submission date August 2nd. Sorry to those who were expecting to submit their sites today.

Here are some of my plans for this site: Make a new design (hopefully) and add a reviews and rating section. The latter means that I'm planning on removing the visitor voting and will give awards based on visitor reviews.

Still trying to work out the details if it should be like last year where there's a preliminary round and people will then be allowed to review/rate the site. Or, just not going through an elimination process and letting all the entries be reviewed. Or, I can just use the old system...

I'm thinking if anyone would even bother leaving a review... Or if I could get a team of people to rate/review sites... Hrmmm... If you have any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thanks!

Hello, everyone! Finally! The moment you've been waiting for has arrived. This year's winners are...

Best Breakthrough Site
ChanLu Design

Best Dynamic Site
Seabreeze Designs

Best Personal Site
Infektia

Best Resource Site
Aethereality

Best Female Designer
Karmakaze Designs

Site of the Year
Aethereality

Go to the Nominees section to view the number of votes each site got. Some were pretty close but there were sites that were above the rest. As usual, the winner for Site of the year was based on the total number of votes the site received.

Of course, we can't forget our random voter, Kyameel, who will be plugged for a month in the main page of Blinding-Light.COM.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 20:47:57

The voting script I coded records the IP address of all the people who already voted. If you're sure you haven't voted yet but it says that you did, it may be that one of the voters have the same ISP as you do so you have the same IP address.

I will try to see if I can resolve this issue but for now, the only solution I can think of is for you to vote using a different ISP. Sorry for any inconvenience.

In other news, It's a close match between the finalists in all categories. Still hard to tell which site will win at this point. Those who haven't voted yet, don't miss your chance. Voting ends on the 30th of November.

I am so sorry to those who could not vote earlier. The bug has been fixed. You can now vote for your favorite sites. Thank you to all those who told me about this problem. If there are any more errors you encounter, please report them.

So, again, good luck to the finalists.
