Since this service is not free of charge you certainly receive something in exchange for the
money you invested NOT only if you win. In case you are a winner the total value of all prices
exceeds the the submission fee.
"How is that possible?", you might ask. Here is the answer:
- Not everyone wins this prestigeous trohpy.
- The Star Site Team was browsing through the net and used all its contacts to
receive discounts on the products it gives away. This certainly doesn't mean that the
prices are of lower quality. We always keep our high standards.
- This is NO money making machine or cash cow. We try to provide an excellent service
at a fair price. That's why our margins are not immensily high.
- The staff has a real life. This means we all have regular day-time jobs and
don't have to rely on this business.
- We don't *steel money*. We know how hard it is to earn a living, and we know
what we expect as customers.

HTML-check, images and graphic-work check, navigation check, etc. --> This is called
consulting for FREE ;-).
- Honorable notice including a link and a short description in *PhilDaPoohBear's Newsletter* with over 1500 subscribers.
- A free subscription to *Macromedia's Indsider Newsletter* even if you are not a customer

... "and that is all?", you ask. No. You can be sure by winning this price that you have done
something special and outstanding. You enriched the web-community. You provide an excellent
service or your site has a beautiful design and layout or both. You are -virtually speaking- among
the top 1% on the internet.
