Welcome to our awards page. Our purpose in creating this awards program is to encourage webmasters to design better websites. We view awards programs as a peer review system, meaning a way for webmasters to check out each others sites and reward those that meet specific criteria. This provides a useful service in that it increases the value of these sites to the community.

We are interested in rewarding sites which are good overall, rather than those with fancy bells and whistles. Good design, content and navigation are of the most importance.

We will review sites within two weeks. Only winners will be notified.

How we Judge sites for the Awards

Briefly, we are looking for sites which:

Meet the general criteria (be sure and read these before submitting your site)
Meet any specific award criteria
And show that the webmaster communicated something of value to the world.

Fancy graphics are great, and the newest Flash animations are wonderful, but these are all for naught if the site does not communicate effectively. Our belief is that the web is about getting people to start "talking" to one another. A good web site should do more than just post pictures, it should show the author's passion for the subject.

The best web sites are not about perfect HTML code or a wonderfully produced design - they are about people and they inform, entertain, enlighten and possibly sell us something.

And that's what we are looking for in all of our awards. Passion. The webmasters passion for whatever he or she is attempting to communicate. In order words, all the wonderful HTML, the best Flash, the perfect graphics, the precisely worded phrases are all the picture frame for the picture - the communication.

Most award programs miss this essential fact because they are looking at the minutiae of how a site is put together or the preciseness of it's thread. While we do care (and judge) about such things, they are not our number one priority.

So if your site falls within our criteria and it communicates well about something which you feel passionately, then by all means submit it.
