An honest salute.

Awesome is not a follower count. It's a neighbour who shows up, a teacher who stayed late, a company that left something better than it found. Impact is often quiet. This wall tries to make it visible — and then sends it real attention.

• Impact that reaches beyond the person or company themselves.
• Generosity — of time, craft, or attention.
• A specific story a friend, customer or colleague can tell.

1. 1. Anyone nominates anyone, free, using the short form.
2. 2. A real person reviews every nomination before it goes live.
3. 3. If it's selected, the nominee gets a note that begins, "Congratulations. You've been nominated to the Wall of Awesome."
4. 4. Their listing joins the wall and starts earning its rank.

People tap Endorse on a listing they believe deserves attention. More endorsements means a higher rank. One person gets one endorsement per listing. Nominating adds someone to the wall; it does not rank them. Clicks are shown as impact, but do not buy or change rank.

A nominated or claimed listing can pay $20 to be Featured for 30 days. Featured listings appear in a section that says Featured on it, in plain language, every time. That payment buys attention — it never moves an earned rank, and it never pushes anyone down. The paid side is what funds the traffic the earned side gets.

• Sell rank. Not at any price, to anyone, ever.
• Hide a paid placement, or dress it up as an editorial pick.
• Let paid featuring change the community ranking.
• Share nominator details without asking first.

Every nomination is read by a real person. If someone you admire belongs on this wall, tell us. We're listening.
