Honestly, it depends on the competition. The issue is often not whether or not they are small, but whether or not they are known. In the case of the Webbies, there’s a request for submissions by the panel. In the case of Ars, there’s a demand for submissions by Ars itself. The next step is to be able to defend the community in the panel, which basically means that the community needs to articulate why it’s amazing to the panel.

With the Webbies, i’d bet that most readers here know four of the five sites. The fifth one is probably unknown, as it was to the committee, but information about it was shared with the panel that was quite convincing.
