The 2005 HumorFeed Satire News Awards

HumorFeed brings together many of the best satire sites on the Web. In 2005, this select group of sites has published over 3,600 articles which are listed through HumorFeed. In January 2006, we'll be recognizing the best of the best with the first annual HumorFeed Satire News Awards.

The competition is open to any HumorFeed member active during 2005 and will take place in three stages. In the first stage, each member nominated its best story of the year. It might be a popular favorite, or it might be a gem that happened to escape the public eye. The resulting "Editors' Choice" list is a must-see for anyone who's a fan of satire news.

In the second stage, our members will vote amongst themselves to select the ten best stories our community has to offer, in a strictly controlled, anonymous voting process. These ten finalists will then be evaluated by an independent panel of judges to determine the best HumorFeed stories of the year.

Our judging panel includes some of the nation's leading journalists and humorists alike. We're proud to submit our work before the expert judgment of these individuals, each of whom has made his mark on the journalistic world in one way or another.
