Here in Augusta a local magazine has run a "best of
Augusta" competition
in
the areas of "best hamburger" - "best local beer
joint", etc.
So....................two thoughts:
1) Do we expect that every county is going to win "County of the Month",
thus completing a 13 year cycle? (Which means that the "award" would be
handed to counties regardless of criteria?)
2) Building on John's thought: What if we had a "Best of Georgia" column
with easily updated text, noting "Best Site Design", Best Content",
"Best
Graphics", "Best New Information", ETC. Then numerous counties could be
recognized for what they actually do best.
Actually, I am not really in favor of "Best" awards at all. They are not
really an incentive for me to do anything differently on my site. And if
the idea of the awards is to drive traffic to our sites by indicating that
there is something special there, perhaps John's idea would work well.
