Nikonians Awards
2004
It
is with great pleasure that we celebrate the achievements of the
Nikonians community during 2004. In particular we wish to recognize
the outstanding contributions of community members, our team and
the talents of our photographers.
During
2004, Nikonians registered membership grew from 15,650 to almost
25,000. The number of unique daily visitors to our site grew from
almost 5,000 in December 2003 to 10,300 in December 2004; 310,000
per month. Stickiness, measured as number of pages viewed by unique
visitors is well above of any of the average peer sites. These rates
of growth have only been managed by the tireless efforts of our
team, and the many members who contribute so much to this community,
making its knowledge base and friendliness unique.
In
recognition of the team and our membership, we have great pleasure
in announcing the Nikonians of the Year awards for 2004. We also
take the opportunity to recall the inaugural Nikonians of the Year,
awarded in 2003.
In
2004 we reintroduced the Nikonians Photo Contest, with over 600
entries. Each of the monthly winners was invited to enter the contest
finals, and a wonderful collection of images has been the result.
We are very happy to announce the winners of the Nikonians Photo
Contest 2004.
