2005 Forvm Classical Studies Awards Poll

[Pep]

Welcome to THE Final Polling for the 2005 Forvm Awards For Classical Studies!  We will be awarding a gold logo to the site that receives the most votes, silver to the second most-voted, and bronze to the site that comes in third in votes.

We would like you to vote for three sites from the list of finalists above in order to give the silver and bronze awards as much backing as possible.  However, you may vote for just one or two sites if that is what you really want to do.  In any case, please note that you must vote for all of your choices at the same time.  The board programming does not allow you to vote for one site and then come back and vote for your other one or two choices later.

Our finalists were the eight sites that received the most submissions during the nomination process that closed a few days ago.  I congratulate them for this and wish them the best of luck in polling.  Regardless of the outcome, they are all beacons of Classical knowledge on the Internet.

As for the rest of our standard award recipients, your sites are also instrumental in helping us coin collectors place our little treasures into context.  Therefore, they are appreciated all the same and not one bit less.  This is why you received the original award after our membership reviewed them in their own individual polls.  Since a site can only win the annual gold award twice, there exists a great chance that you may see your sites in future contests.

Thank You and Happy Holidays,

Kevin

Dear members of the Forvm Website Awards Nomination Committee

Winning an award once is nice, receiving it a second time means that I
have not disappointed those who gave it me for the first time, and is an
ever bigger compliment. I will do my best to continue my job as well as
I can and maintain the quality of the website.

Jona
(very proud)
