Ok. The votes are in and we have a winner. Congratulations to Ken True at saratoga-weather.org for winning the Fall 2006 featured website. This was probably the closest battle I've seen and was very exciting to watch. The other nominees have very nice websites as well and I'm sure we will see them in the next poll. We will probably run the Winter competition sometime in January so keep checking back. Congratulations Ken on a great job and hope to see the other nominess, carterlake.org and rivercity.net in January!

Congrats to Ken and the runners up. Well deserved recognition.

Just a passing thought, but I thought it would be cool to have a small wxforum  "trophy" type banner for the winners. Maybe someone out there with a little artistic ability. The winner could if they choose display it proudly on their site. Once you have a template designed, each contest just fill in the winners appropriate info and the time frame, such as in this case "Fall 2006 winner".

Just a thought.

Great question!
Drew "Noquitters" actually made one up. Take a look and let us know what you think.
