I have been asked several rather good questions concerning our awards here in Yosemite and Geocities. So with out further ado, the awards:

This award is for ANY CL to give at any time to a homestead in their block. Tis used as a reward for the 'steader having built a pleasant site. A way for the CL to say thanks for your time spent on your page. Keep in mind, the site should be a Treasure for Yosemite. Guidelines are simple. Look them up here: TREASURE AWARD

This award is for the accomplished web pager. It's an Award of Excellence presented once a month to a deserving site in Yosemite or one of its suburbs.. A committee presides over the monthly competition for the best site. Check it out here: SOARING EAGLE AWARD

The Yosemite Pride Award was created to award Yosemite homesteaders that have wonderful web pages, meet Y!Geocities guidelines, Fit the theme of Yosemite, and be a site dedicated to something that other people can use.

It's suggested you have The Yosemite Treasure or Soaring Eagle awards first.

This award will be given to all sites which meet the standards. We can have more than one "Pride" site per month. These sites are nominated by you (all) CLs and homesteaders. Sites are chosen for the award by (all) CLs.

Once a site has been nominated and reviewed, it will be placed on the nominees site. Every CL has the opportunity to view and rate, (Using the Score form, by number 1-10, 10 being best), each site. A score of 50 out of a possible 70 gives the site the "Pride" award. Details here: YOSEMITE PRIDE AWARD

Each month, all Yosemite Pride winners are placed in a pool. The Community Leaders in Yosemite will choose an overall winner from the Yosemite Pride award group. *You MUST have won the Yosemite Pride award to be eligible.* The Yosemite Outta Site Award will be given to the best "Pride" site. YOSEMITE OUTTA SITE AWARD

GOOSA (Geocities Outta Site Award) Has two levels. Each neighborhood sends in their monthly winners. One of these nominees will be picked as the monthly Geo-wide Goosa winner.

All Geo-wide monthly winners will then vie for the annual award.
