With the variety of Racing Pigeon sites on the web today recognition is deserved for those doing a good job of promoting this great sport and hobby. This is not a marketing tool. You will not find a "For Sale" here.
The site was first uploaded on 13 March 2002. With first awards to those who have excellent sites and agreed to assist in judging the applicants. If you know of or have a site you think should receive the award please make application. The only prize is to receive and display the award icon you see at the top of the page between the two blues. Hopefully it will send many visitors to the sites receiving the award.


Your application will be forwarded to the judges.  Who will review your site and get back to me.  They will be looking for sites that are technically sound and have a unique approach to promoting the sport.  Sites that are a good resource of current information available on the sport with well composed text, photos and graphics that load easily will be considered.  We suggest you visit the Alberta Classic site which we consider exceptional and the standard by which we judge others. If you don't receive a reply within 2 weeks then you can assume that the judges have decided that the site has not satisfied the requirements.  If you would like to know what these are please feel free to contact me and I will give you a report on their concerns.
A list of recipients will be posted with a link on this site.
