Former Awards

There were five awards for people for outstanding contributions to OSM. They were the following:

Image Name Description
Lolcat.png Lolcat of awesomeness The Lolcat of awesomeness was awarded to people who have done something awesome. Similar to the North Star, but more cute. It was plastered on the front page, and was awarded every now and then. The last award took place in November 2013.
Image Star Alpha.png Image Star The Image Star was used for outstanding images that are created within the OSM community, which were picked and displayed on the Main Page as a Featured image.
Megastar.png Mega Star The Mega Star was rewarded to people who have uploaded 1,000,000 track points, which they had collected and used towards the development of OSM maps.

Mega Star recipients
