Big Chip Awards - nominations
Well, call it vanity publishing if you want, but Frank at WeLoveTheWeb and I have decided to submit www.mrscruff.com to see if it wins an award. The Big Chip Awards are to ‘celebrate the wealth of talent in digital industries in the North‘, and we are submitting the new Mr Scruff site in the ‘Best Use of Design’ category.
The awards are very well attended and the standard is always high, although they do tend to be dominated by a handful of the same companies each year. There are many categories that StarDotStar, the last company I worked for will be entering, and quite a few of those entries will be sites and applications I worked on. So if we don’t win directly for Mr Scruff I will probably win something by proxy, but I would be most proud to win in our own right.
Sadly the site only lists who our competition is, rather than what their product is, so I have no idea what we are up against. I think this might be because some of the entries are not online as they are maybe CD-Rom applications. I am quietly excited about it and crossing my fingers.
