Library Website Awards...?

Hi Amanda,
I went to libsite.org and feel the same way you do about
libsuccess.org. I did a search several months ago for
Library Website Awards, but came up emptyhanded.
Does anyone have an inside track to ALA to suggest this...or
....maybe figure out a way to do an online vote through the
Web4Lib Wiki, perhaps categories for Academic, Public,
Special, School Libraries...?
