The results of the tenth Křišťálová Lupa awards were announced yesterday. We were nominated in the Tools and services category and came away with a very respectable ninth place.
Křišťálová Lupa has had ten editions, but this was our first entry. In August, we asked for your nominations, which got us into the final vote.
At yesterday's awards evening, we appeared briefly in the overview of nominated projects:
We finished ninth out of eleven, which is still a success for our first year. We were incorrectly listed as vps.Free.cz and described in the results as web hosting, but that happens to newcomers.
Competing against ČSFD or Mapy.cz is certainly tough, but we're not giving up and will try again next year. We trust you'll support us and help us reach at least... eighth place! ☺
It was worthwhile anyway: over the past two months, the awards website brought us more visits than any other site. It sent 680 new visitors, with Lupa.cz second at 72, so hundreds of new people heard about us. We may have caught their interest, and they may become members in time.
