Website Awards
Awards Information
The Sonic Site Awards is about celebrating those smaller Sonic websites that have done some awesome work over the last year and just needs to be heard in the community. On this page you will find our entire selection of awards - they range from creative commendations to talents in webmastering and community building. The award everyone wants though is the prestigious Sonic Site Award 2007. Read the descriptions below to see if your own website (or your favourite website) qualifies for each award.

Submitting a Nomination
In any of the websites below, you have the chance during Phase 1 of the proceedings to nominate your own, or your favourite Sonic site or person for consideration. Be sure to nominate websites that you feel truly deserve the award in question - the SSA Organisers will check every nomination and accompanying websites and will make final decisions based on what they think really deserves to go through to Phase 2.

Do not nominate the same website or person more than once in the same award; doing so will result in your TSS Account privileges being removed. You will lose the ability to vote and nominate others in future events. Any other abuse to the SSA system will result in the same consequences. The Sonic Stadium is forfeited from entering any awards (does not extend to TSSNET websites).


Website Awards 2007
Information Station - This award will go to the fansite that has impressed the community with a large portfolio of information about Sonic the Hedgehog. It doesn't just have to be relating to the games - information portals about the cartoons, merchandise, comics or any other facet of the franchise is legible for entry. What site has so much information you really can't view it all in one sitting?
Honourable Mentions: SFGHQ, The Shadow Realm, Sonic Style, Emerald Guardian, Saturday Morning Sonic, Inuyasha and Sonic Heaven, No More Blue

Evolving Forum - Website communities and forums get special priority in this award, handed out to the Message Board that shows the greatest promise to discuss Sonic the Hedgehog at great length. Has your forum greatly increased in members, discussion value and scope over the last 12 months?
Honourable Mentions: Shadowflash BBS, The Shadow Realm, Tails Force Forums, Tails Team, Cyberdyne Systems: Mobius, Team Turbo Message Board, Entherial Online, Sonic Comix Forums, Sonic Style, EchoNET, SSWF, Zero Fox Forums, Saturday Morning Sonic, Forest Defence Initiative, Black Hero, Sonic Earth

Most Entertaining - Does a website contantly make you laugh with some greatly written content? This award goes to the Sonic fansite that provides the most relaxed and entertaining atmosphere for its visitors, so that surfing their pages is never a chore. It can be in the form of a website being consistently funny, or writing their reviews and articles in such a way as to make you read every single page.
Honourable Mentions: SFGHQ, The Sonic Drive, Two Tailed Fox Forums, Sonic Turbine, Saturday Morning Sonic, Sonic Ring, The Sonic Factory

Impressive Layout - The requirements for this award is pretty simple - any Sonic website that has been designed exceptionally well is a candidate to win this prize. We're not looking for sites that have been made using those irritating free template creators (ie. Freewebs) as a design, that is unacceptable. Potential nominees must have created their own unique design.
Honourable Mentions: Shadowflash, Sonic Amateur Games Expo 2007, The Shadow Realm, Tails Team, Blue Blur Central, Sonic Yoda, Sonic Turbine, Sonic Classic Continuity, Emerald Guardian, Metal Shadow, Sonic Force, Saturday Morning Sonic, Sonic Vegemite, Inuyasha and Sonic Heaven, Black Hero, FF-Radio, Sonic Earth

Worth It - A classic award. 'Worth It' means websites that take ages to update, but when they do they provide truckloads of content - 'worth the wait', so to speak. If you know any fansites that spend an age on updates that you so desperately want to see, submit them for nomination here.
Honourable Mentions: The Sonic Show, Zone: 0, The Shadow Realm, Sonic Style, Sonic Yoda, Sonic Turbine, Metal Shadow, FF-Radio, Sonic Vegemite, Black Hero, The Sonic Factory

Evolved Website - Websites that have grown or expanded massively over the last year are eligable for this award. Maybe a fansite was really small with five pages to its name 12 months ago, but now has several categories of content. Perhaps a site has gone from an ugly design to a blossomed professional look.
Honourable Mentions: Shadowflash, Sonic: Turbocharged, The Sonic Drive, Cyberdyne Systems Mobius, Sonic Style, Sonic Turbine, Sonic Allstars, Metal Shadow, Sonic Force, Saturday Morning Sonic, Inuyasha and Sonic Heaven, The Sonic Factory


Creative Awards 2007
Fangame 2007 - What fangame has been prominent in the past year, simply by being so well developed and great? Maybe a demo shows lots of promise and you just can't stop playing it? Name your developer and the game for this award and hopefully we may get a finished game out of them.
Honourable Mentions: Bluehog Gaming Studio, The Sonic Drive, Techno the Hedgehog, Sonic Touch, Sonic Touch 2, Sonic Robo Blast 2

Artist 2007 - Grab a pen and start doodling - the idea of fan artwork is so simple yet can become so intricate. Or it can be your favourite place for Sonic characters to clash and do bizarre things to each other. Whatever floats your boat. Who has been exceptional with the artwork this last year?
Honourable Mentions: Violet, Ingolme, Akay Akamay, HyperShadow, Calisto, Echo Hawk, Elson 'Darkspeeds' Wong, Sonicsuperstar1, Rave779, Nara, Roareye Black, Sonaos, Gaminefans, Candy, ±HaloMaster±

Comic 2007 - Comics make the world go round. Whether hand drawn or consisting of sprites, they can bring joy, emotion and more joy (in the case of irreverant sprite comics). What comic - drawn or sprite - do you think has done well enough to really earn an award this year?
Honourable Mentions: Fire At Will, The No More Blue Collection, Sonic Style, Sonic Iblis, AkumaTH's Comic, Two Evil Scientists, Broken Comics, TTB Web Comics, My Mind, The Universe, Only Fools and Yoshis, BSG3

Fiction 2007 - Just as a comic tells a story, so can one of the oldest form of storytelling - fiction and literature. Some people have come to be great scribers, telling their own fan-created accounts featuring the blue hedgehog. What piece of writing deserves your vote this year?

Music 2007 - One of the greatest media forms is in music - artists can channel emotions through it and the listener can connect with those creating the songs. Sonic the Hedgehog has inspired a lot of MP3 fan remixes and other inspired-by music: select the MP3 Remix you feel really has lasted this year and still sounds great on the ear.
Honourable Mentions: Arnas - Ice Cap Invaded, Arnas - Battle Highway I'm High, Arnas - Chaos Angel House Vocal, Arnas - Music Plant Rock Maniac, Arnas - Rusty Ruin Revisited, FlyingMonkeyofOz - Sonic Karaoke


Sonic Elite Award 2007
What major Sonic the Hedgehog fansite or resource has been stellar this year, gone above the call of duty and really provided what the fans needed? As major Sonic sites, they are under even more scrutiny to do the deed best, so who has earned that prestigious award this year? This award is subject to moderation by the Sonic Site Awards team regarding entrants: Only sites we deem as 'Elite' as explained above shall enter for Phase 2.

Biggest Contribution to the Community 2007
This is technically a webmaster or creation artist award, going to the person that has done the greatest thing this year. It can be a webmaster who has gathered the find of the year, someone who has organised a memorable event or has generally just helped out the community by being there and available. Use the first field to enter what your potential nomination has done to help the Community.

THE SONIC SITE AWARD 2007
The big one. What Sonic fansite has truly shone throughout the last year? Websites that have performed exceptionally well need only apply - perhaps it's consistently provided loads of updates, or the community has made the site a force to be reckoned with? The webmaster may have gone above and beyond the mere call of duty to serve his/her visitors. The choice, as they say, is all yours.
Honourable Mentions: Shadowflash, The Shadow Realm, Sonic Yoda, Sonic Turbine, Saturday Morning Sonic, Sonic Vegemite, Inuyasha and Sonic Heaven, Black Hero
