Casey's Celtic Charm SOTY

Colby's Choice 2006

Our esteemed guest panel of judges have reviewed, evaluated and have chosen Salamanders Young Burn Survivors as the first recipient of Casey's Celtic Charm Awards SOTY - Colby's Choice 2006. We are extremely proud to announce and award this deserving site with our SOTY award.

Site Description: Designed for children and young people, this site gives information on burns and first aid and has links to further information, plus a contact base for burn survivors.

Judges Comments:

"It is without question an awesome resource for anyone that might be struggling with the terrible pain of a burn. Designer and parent Sylvia presents a smart and attractive design with clean and sensible navigation. The graphics complimented the text quite well with a flair for illustrating the site with animations and icons for young people while not being distracting for resource seekers.

More importantly Salamanders Young Burn Survivors is a must read for any parent with children of Quinn's age. In his own words: "if I can stop even one other kid from going through what happened to me, there will have been some point to it all." I applaud the courage of this family in the face of such a shock and admire their conviction to reach out and help transform burn victims to burn survivors. Well done.

The content with this site is as educative as it is moving. The site clearly highlights the dangers that can lead to burns and the consequences of those risks being realised. I felt honoured to share in the lives of those survivors who allowed their stories to be told. This site is deserving of the SOTY award for 2006.
