Announcing Winners Of The Year

The last year has gone by fast, and it's already time to announce the winners of our Seventh Annual Fan Project & Web Site of the Year Awards! Voting was conducted over the last four weeks at our Crius.net Forums. We asked people to consider how active each candidate has been over the last twelve months and think about the potential each has for contributing in 2006. Although only a few have won, each person that worked on or experienced a Wing Commander fan undertaking in 2005 has helped make our community grow and prosper.

Initially there were some concerns about people registering multiple accounts or using their roommates/cousins/grandparents in an attempt to sway the vote. We carefully tracked each suspicious incident, and while there was some attempted fraudulent activity, it did not affect the relative positions of any nominee. So on to the winners!

The winner for Fan Project of the Year is.. Standoff! Episode 3 will be out in just one week!
The runner up for Fan Project of the Year is.. Privateer Gemini Gold! Now even closer to the original.
The winner of Wing Commander Web Site of the Year is.. Wing Commander Saga! Check out their latest wallpaper.
The runner up for Wing Commander Web Site of the Year is.. Fleet Tactics! Still capturing fans' imaginations.

Honorable Mention: Both HCl's Wing Commander Editing Site and Wedge's Wing Commander tied for a very strong third place showing. Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone who helped ensure a fair and accurate vote this year!
