2011 FORVM Website Award for Numismatic Excellence Poll

[Danny S. Jones]

Greetings Fellow FORVM Classical Numismatic Discussion Board Members,

Welcome to THE Final Polling for the 2011 Forvm Awards For Numismatic Excellence!  We will be awarding a Gold Logo to the website that receives the most votes, Silver to the second most-voted, and Bronze to the site that comes in third in votes.  If any sites tie in these top three tiers, they will both/all receive the relevant Logos.

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.  Please note that the board programming requires you to vote for all of your choices at the same time.  If you make a mistake or you change your mind, you may click "Remove Vote" (which will erase all your votes in this particular poll) and resubmit your choices.

The Finalists are the eight sites that received the most submissions during the Nomination Process that closed a few days ago.  We congratulate them for this and wish them the best of luck in polling.  Regardless of the outcome, they are all treasures of the online numismatic community.

As for the rest of our Standard Award Recipients, your hard work and sharing of knowledge is appreciated all the same and not one bit less.  This is why you received the original Award after our membership reviewed your sites 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.

Respectfully,
The Forvm Website Awards Nomination Committee

The modestly titled "What I Like..." site by moonmoth / Bill Welch is one of those I refer to over and over.  And its web design is wonderful, too.  He asks and carefully addresses very important questions.

My favorite of them all is The PtolemAE Project. Tons of serious information on the subject, a great tool!

Thank you.  Having won 2 previous awards I'm happy to know that ptolemybronze.com has reached many collectors and is now joined by this year's winners.  Fell a couple votes shy of another award for 2011 but there's always next year   Thanks for the support of all those who like The PtolemAE Project.

Happy to report that The PtolemAE Project has now exceeded the 'facebook threshold' and has its own name on FB.  Seems like the talk on Sicilian Ptolemaic bronzes in SF last month helped spread word about the web site among the academic community and folks from all over the world have hit the 'i like' facebook button.

Thanks to all who voted for my site, which as a result won the 2011 bronze award.  And thanks also to Pat Lawrence, whose support is invaluable.  I now have three annual awards on my site, and I will see if I can aim for some more!

Thanks also to Forum for hosting my site at no charge.
