Golden Icon Awards Announced by Travolta Family Entertainment

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 3, 2006

Travolta Family Entertainment ™ announces its Golden Icon Awards for top achievements in Entertainment, Fashion, and Leisure. Falling between the Grammy Awards and the Academy Awards (Oscars), like its complementary bookends the Golden Icon Awards celebrate the prior years' best introductions and performances.

However, the Travolta Family Entertainment Golden Icon Awards are selected on no specified criteria other than interest and preference or lack there of. There are absolutely no claims made whatsoever that nepotism, favoritism, inebriation, and innocent bribery don't affect the outcome. Some might say this makes the Travolta Family Entertainment Golden Icon Awards all the more cool. Of course there are those who might disagree, but that's just jealousy - because they probably weren't cool enough to win one.

In certain categories, Silver Icon winners are named when the competition was that steep that special mention is warranted. Not all categories have Silver Icon winners, and there may be more than one Silver Icon Award given in a single category. Only one Golden Icon Award is given in any one category.

A full listing of the winning achievements for the year ending December 31, 2005 is available for republication at:
