| 22.Dec.2001 Christoph Dietz |
NEO Award on 13.12.2001 The NEO Award, for that amiga-news.de was also nominated, was awarded on 13.12.2001 in Stuttgart in the Mercedes Forum to several websites. Christoph Dietz has taken part for amiga-news.de in the awarding and has taken some photos. Read now the summary of his impressions. 
The NEO Award was a successful event - even though we as amiga-news.de "only"
made the 12th place in the cathegory ´most popular website´. But with
altogether more than 500,000 registered users and with more than 2.5 million
votes within a period of four weeks this ranking is for us as a news site for a
marginal group a remarkable result.
It's you, the readers, who fully deserve the thanks for this.
In the Stuttgart Mercedes Forum had the people arranging the NEO Award not only taken care for many people - including of course the nominees in the different areas - but also for the matching ambiente with food and drinking. 
Through the show led Frauke Ludowig, presenter of the RTL programme "Explosiv",
again and again kindly interrupted by the asides of Mirco Nontschew,
entertainer from the "RTL Saturday Night". Numerous musical interludes,
beginning with the ones of "Glashaus", always ensured a good atmosphere in the
hall and were a good frame for the award.
Most of the awarded NEOs were named by a prominent jury, though it does not neccessarily make a name for itself in the sphere of the Internet. The Special Award for great contribution to the new media went to Prof. Karlheinz Brandenburg, deputizing for his team, with which he had created the music compression standard MPEG3 (short: MP3). This price was presented by Dr. Christoph-E. Palmer, minister of state of Baden-Württemberg. 
The price for the best Online advertising went to the ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG, commented by them in the speech of thanks with not having expecting to win this price with RTL and VIVA belonging to the sponsors and jury members. In the background could the laudator of the Award be seen, the voice of "Robert T-Online". As best sports site on the net was the one of Formula 1 racing driver Michael Schuhmacher elected. The price for this was taken by Kai Ebel, presenter of the Formular 1 broadcast of RTL. The site of the soap "Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten" ("Good times, bad times") was winner of the award for the best series site. The heavy weight "NEO" was presented to three actors of the series who all reacted indifferent towards the winning of the price and at the same time announced the (already happened) relaunch of the site. Both sites are btw. designed and supervised by RTL News Media, as is well known presented as member of the jury by their manager Dr. Thomas Hesse. 
The group Glashaus was for this evening not only engaged as live act but also won the award in the area "best music site". Radio on the Internet, the most popular website here is the "Chart Radio". "Der Schuh des Manituh" is not only one of the most successful films in German cinemas but also the winner of the NEO for the best film site. "geizkragen.de" got the public price for the most popular website, presented by Heidi Klum. Geizkragen.de surprised with the announcement that "much is to be expected" and meant with this the television. This made the laudator ask spontaneously whether the "dot.com-Domain is already reserved". 
Electronic postcards can be sent most innovative at "edgar.de" and for this it gave the second public NEO of the evening. A flat after-taste remains for exactly these two awards, though, because in the participation terms under point 17/5, paragraph 5, sentence 3 it is written as follows: "The organisator reserves for himself to change the result when the vote results aren't a good advertisement." Unfortunately we won't ever experience whether the winning sites made it to the top because of the participiants or because of effectiveness. We hope for the former! A winner for the offered Smart wasn't drawn on this event, we wait impatiently for the naming of the lucky one. More than words speak our further pictures of the event for themselves:
