SPECIAL THANKSI would like to give my thanks for the help and guidance that fellow designers, award owners and applicants have given to me during the time that I have spent building my award program. Without them non of my achievements could have been possible! I have also given credit to some great sites that I have found and used with permission amongst my award program. Aiko TimmerAiko, is always available for help and advice concerning my award program. He consistently gives a sound evaluation and is eternally entertaining in his chat on the Apirs Forum! I also had the pleasure of being an evaluator for his excellent genealogy award program - ATGP. Erin WhalenI had the pleasure of meeting Erin when she applied to my award program with her excellent site, SW Photography. We soon became internet friends through our correspondence. I am really happy to have her on my team as she gives a thorough evaluation and her 'book' styled reviews are always appreciated! Judy GavetteAlthough, now absent from my award program, Judy has given me invaluable advice on constructing my award program. She is always friendly and we are all anxiously waiting on her return. Franz BoingerI had the pleasure of meeting Franz, whilst applying to his award program. I am now an evalautor for the F.R.I Awards, a postion I am finding very enjoyable. I also have had great fun in helping Franz translate the German language into English! (always a pleasure Franz!) Rachel PowellOne of my biggest praises must go to Rachel. Her undying patience and extended knowledge of web design has helped me a great deal. I first had the pleasure of meeting her whilst applying for her outstanding Tamurilart Award. I had just ventured out into the world of web design and my site was much to be desired (as I know now!) I had horizontal scrolling and almost every thing else undesired in html! She spent quite a while helping me understand where I had gone wrong! Without her, this award program would not exist as she has given me the confidence and desire to develop my skills, and also to extend my knowledge to others. Cliff EwingI first had the pleasure of meeting Cliff whilst applying for the exceptional B.W.D.A Award Program. Cliff was one of the first evaluators to join my award program, unfortunately, due to other more important commitments he had to leave us. Cliff has always remained a good friend and his contribution to the world of web awards is invaluable. He recently shared a design for the application form on the Apirs Forum - thankyou Cliff! Apirs ForumThanks to all at the Apirs Forum (you know who you are!) I would recommend any award program owner or seeker who would like to learn more about web design or indeed, applying for awards to check out this excellent service. Alot of fun can also be had here with the informal chat section, there is always a giggle to be had! UwsagThanks to all at Uwsag, especially Tony Duthoo who has given me valuable advice about my web site and who has also given me the opportunity to become an official for their wonderful program. I am deeply honoured! Firestarter Awards Intro Page Graphic - I have adapted an illustration from a litho poster, circa 1900, artist unknown. The graphic represents Dante's Inferno. CREDITS
