~The Ducky Awards~


Welcome to the "Ducky Award" world headquarters... these very prestigious honors are reserved for the guitar and music industries only and are awarded for guitar and music web site excellence.

As often as we can, the Ducks Deluxe Award Committee will review all submitted web sites and pass out the awards.

There are three levels of "Duckys" .. Silver, Gold and Platinum .. winners of the Gold Ducky may display either/or both of the Silver and/or the Golden Duckys .. winners of the Platinum Duckys may display any/or all three of the Duckys.

Once you start displaying your award(s) on your web site, let us know, and your site will then be linked in "The Ducky Web Site Award Hall Of Fame".
