What if I win?

If you win the prestigious Website of the Month competition, you will be presented a logo with the month you won the competition and the year.

We recommend that you post this logo on your website and link it to the thread saying where you have won. We don't force you into doing this but we recommend it as it gives your website good publicity.

Website of the Year

If you win the WOTM competition you will automatically be entered into the WOTY (Website of the Year) competition. This is exclusively for WOTM winners of that year.

If you do not wish to be included in this exclusive competition, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
