Then as an entry youll be sent a notice that you are selected, in exchange you place a rotating banner ad on your site(which is hosted on the awarders site to prevent BW hogging on yours) where the banners have ads by sponsors of the events. This is where they create revenue, click throughs and advertising, a simple case of TV mentality... So the nominees wouldnt then shed a penny... Then if you win, you stick with the banner for a year, thats a good deal considering your site will be popular because of this, the sponsors products would get more views too...

Besides the fact that they have already started charging nominees for entry fees, everything else seems to be the same albeit bland and uneventfull.

I have been a pre-finals judge before and I already sense that this campaign really lacks corporate support in terms of funding. The fees are really steep and while they claim it weeds out nominations, they did not recognize that fact that it could also inhibit potentially good entries. I think it's really about funding. Media G8way could not longer finance this event from their own budget so that have to look for other ways and asking for fees must have been their best option.

Isn't that why you get sponsors? I'm sure there are a lot of big companies out there who would be more than willing to shellout some change from their million peso advertising budgets to cover such a high profile event as a web awards. Or is this their way of policing absurd entries? the part I never understood was, why you had to pay an entrance fee to join? to defray the cost of the judging? Isn’t that why you get sponsors?

May awards ka na nga eh! Besides, bakit kailangan pa magbayad?! if they want to earn, they should look for sponsors. diba slim pickings na lang yon if you can only choose among those who are willing to pay in order to win an award. anyway, magaling ka na naman eh. sayang lang pera ;) i guess, you have already proven yourself when it comes to websites/blogging.

Winning is a singular honor, no matter how many times you win. It only encourages others to do better, and keep the quality of work high. If you take away good conteders, then the standard invariably falls, don't you think? But still, I think it's infuriating to be asked to pay if you want to compete.
