Cangrats to everyone who has receievd the award.

No degradation intended, from me, just curisoity.
How does this fit in with the MVP award, which appears to be for the same thing?

MVP is a bit different dave.... Microsoft Most Valuable Professional

Congratulations

Thanks for the response, JC. I still don't get it, merely a matter of wording I feel. Of course, with the MVP status, you do get some "goodies"

MVP
At Microsoft, we believe that by participating in technical communities, MVPs enhance people's lives and the industry's success. Your participation in these communities promotes the free and objective exchange of knowledge. You are recognized in technical communities as a reliable, independent expert, benefiting all who participate in communities. Your expert advice and influence in technical communities help users adopt new technology and help Microsoft understand and meet our customers' needs.

MCCA
The Microsoft Community Contributor Award seeks to recognize notable contributions to Microsoft online community forums such as TechNet, MSDN® and Answers. The value of these resources is greatly enhanced by participants who voluntarily contribute their time and energy to improve the online community experience for others. Each day around the world, Microsoft Community Contributor Award recipients contribute to Microsoft online technical communities in a range of ways, including providing helpful answers, translating online resources into local languages and serving as moderators.

However, I don't want to get into a long arguing thread, so I'll leave it at that.

Awww, see, now I'm jealous! Ha ha. Congrats to those who's earned it. Well deserved!

Thats true andrew, the MCCA is more based on the contribution to the community and that can include the contributions to the moral of a forum too,
as opposed to MVP being almost to a professional level

that said we cannot knock the fantastic efforts of all our award winners ,they have been well earned and have gone to very worthy winners.

when they have a silly sausage award i may just stand a chance.
