A few weeks ago, I mentioned the nominees and categories for the CSS World Awards, presented by CSS Mania. Well, the winners have been announced! They were selected by a panel of judges made up of industry experts such as Molly Holzschlag and Andy Budd; so you can bet these web sites are truly the cream of this year's CSS crop.

You can view the full list of winners at the CSS World Awards site, but a few noteworthy selections include:

• Site of the Year, 3rd place and Media, 3rd place: Vitamin. This new resource for developers combines information about web development, graphic design, server-side programming, and more into one tasty info-morsel. It's been around for only a few months, but I've already consulted it more times than I can count. (Not surprisingly, I think it should've won 1st place, but...)
• Blogging, 1st place and Web Design (Companies and Portfolios), 1st place: Simplebits. The list of Dan Cederholm's contributions to the web design and development community just keeps getting longer (and his blog has been a mainstay in my RSS reader for a long time). This award is well-deserved.
• Portal, 1st place: CSS Beauty. Finally, a site that centralizes job openings for CSS geeks! Oh, but that's not all they've got. Here's a tip: whenever things get slow 'round here, head over to CSS Beauty for a while. You won't be disappointed.

Now it's time for everyone to get cracking on their best CSS kung-fu, in preparation for next year's awards.
