If I won the site of the month, or site of the year, I would be happy to create a section of my site entitled "Accolades" with an image and a link to this site. As my site is a for web design, showing visitors something more firmly founded than testimonials would certainly appeal to me. I didn't enter the contest this month, but when I tie up a few loose ends content-wise on my site, I shall post it.

I think having an optional badge would be nice.
