A capper award is, like a website award, a custom-created image in honor of quality. Capper awards are given to cappers or their caption-appropriate website. The winners are typically decided by the capper handing out the award, though occasionally they will be voted on by the general populace, as with the Demmies.
Flarn
Possibly the most famous capper award was the Flarn Award, created by alexgariepy. They were themed on the show 'Babylon 5', and awarded to the participating capper who did best on the day of the award, after the showing of a B5 episode ended at CT!. The award's name refers to an edible substance eaten by the Minbari people in the Babylon 5 world. Cappers who won 5 Flarn awards then won the coveted Spoo award.
Demmy
The Demmy was awarded in relation to 'Dementia 3000', a now-defunct website.
