Please submit only sites that have been rated by one or more of the internationally acknowledged rating services. Non-rated award programs should be submitted under Computers: Internet: On the Web: Best of the Web: Site Awards
Be sure to include your current rating and the organization from which it was obtained. |
Rated award programs represent a global effort to improve the standards of judging quality on the Web. These programs have undergone significant scrutiny themselves by various organizations to earn the ratings they hold. Each rating organization maintains a unique set of criteria and rating designation, usually numeric. Award-givers voluntarily subject their awards to this scrutiny and must display the rating in a prominent location on their site.
Generally speaking, the higher rated programs are more difficult to win. However most have established a standard scoring and judging system by which all sites are evaluated equally. A Code of Ethics declaration may also be present to warrant a fair evaluation.
These programs are not for the casual award hunter. Requirements are strict and the application process is often arduous, many requiring verification that the rules have been read. They also may offer a self-evaluation area to help predict your success based on the guidelines.
In the final analysis, rated awards endeavor to improve the Web experience by rewarding excellence. A quick trip to the winners' list and a careful read of the criteria might reveal you have a winning site of your own.
