gummisig.com wins an Icelandic Web Award

An old dream has come true, last fri­day (fri­day the 12th of feb­ru­ary 2010) I won an award for www.gummisig.com. 

me and @katrinjul min­is­ter of indus­try in Iceland

I´ve secretly and not so secretly been hop­ing to win this for 5 years now, so going to the award show and actu­ally get­ting a reward was very uhhh… reward­ing. My site won in the best blog, yada, yada cat­e­gory. It used to be called best sin­gle per­son endeavor cat­e­gory which I could under­stand, I dont get the new cat­e­gory name.

From what I could gather there were over a hun­dred entries over­all and then they were fil­tered into cat­e­gories. I might ad that I also had another web­site I designed and set up nom­i­nated for an award. That´s the newly launched www.sparnadur.is site that I havent got­ten around to add to my portfolio.

I´d like to end with say­ing that I really like win­ning this. And I´m fully moti­vated to do it again Plus win­ning a reward on you birth­day is always nice. It was my 35th birth­day last friday.

There are some pho­tos from the event and of the stuff I got on flickr, be sure to have a look.

Update
I for­got to men­tion that my good friend and youth golf part­ner, whom I beat on a reg­u­lar basis, alli met­all was also nom­i­nated for an award. How could I forget.

Here´s what they had to say, ice­landic only for now:

Vefu­rinn sker sig úr fyrir áberandi leturnotkun og líflega hön­nun auk þess sem efnið er skemmti­lega fram sett. Inni­haldið er skri­fað af lipurð og ein­lægni þannig að maðurinn á bakvið vefinn skín vel í gegn. Vefu­rinn er gott dæmi um það hvernig fag­menn geta nýtt sér ver­al­darvefinn til að koma sér og verkum sínum á fram­færi bæði á fagle­gan og áhri­faríkan hátt.
