Rated 3 by Awardia

About this organization: "We have created a federation of awardmasters who have experience in both giving and indexing awards. Some of these awardmasters led well-known international indices for years and gave (some still give) high rated awards. We will be striking new ground with Awardia (e.g. every member already in the first level can create its presentation within default limits) and we expect a top class reference list of award programs to arise consisting of the “best” to those where “the sky is the limit.” [quoted from Awardia website]
