In our "Result Opportunity Radar" for emerging leaders, we have also managed to index very interesting companies who enter lists / competitions such as, Businessweek (http://www.businessweek.com/), Guidewiregroup (http://guidewiregroup.wordpress.com/about/), EContent Mag (http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/Editorial/Feature/EC100-Introduction-&-Category-Descriptions-51631.htm), MEF (http://www.m-e-f.org/news/mef_news/meffys_2009_shortlist_underlines_mobile_entertainments_evolution_and_global_reach/) that give a very good idea of the European tech scene too Hi, great resource, thanks for putting it up.

Most of them are limited to certain states but on occasion you'll find German Awards that are open internationally.

Thus awards are a great way to get coverage! I give one example. One of the most popular sites in the UK is the Saatchi Gallery, but it happened not by chance, they employed many tactics to attain that level of participation. Not least paid traffic to start, then they launched their competition and the traffic went up to 50 million pages with a few million uniques. So my advice would be, if you want coverage, rather than partake in someone else's, create your own competition!
