You've worked really hard and put together the coolest site you've ever seen. The graphics are way cool, but really small. The site loads lickity-split.
Every single link is checked and rechecked.
Your friends and mother think it just the best thing they have ever seen. You're on a roll, and the world is your oyster. Now all you have to do is tell all of the hot site judges about this site and they will love it as much as your mother does. The one thing you need to know is that the people who select hot sites are broken down into a few categories. They get an unbelievable number of submissions every day, and they only have so many awards to give out.
