Please do not submit
a site which contains or has links to sites that contain pornographic material,
illegal activities, excessive violence, or other material that may be deemed overly
offensive.

We only accept
applications from site owners, designers, and webmasters. If you do not fall into
this list and wish to suggest a site for consideration, please do so by e-mail.

The judges main
requirements when reviewing web sites are clean, well designed layouts that are
both fast loading and contain useful information and content.
|
| 4 |
Pages should be
fast loading. For Flash animations we are prepared to wait a little longer than
normal but make sure the files are reasonable. If it doesn't load in five minutes
on a 56k modem connection, we won't be reviewing it (sorry).
|
| 5 |
Please check your
spelling. Poor spelling highlights a lack of attention to detail that is often
mirrored in other site elements and with the amount of spell checkers available,
there is no excuse.
|
| 6 |
Your site should
be easy to navigate and intuitive to work through so that your visitors don't
get lost.
|
| 7 |
The use of pop
up advertisements, consoles and any other form of automated process to show the
visitor pages they didn't ask to see will not win you many friends. Lenience will
only be granted to sites where the hosting company demands the use of pop ups.
|
| 8 |
Your site should
be viewable in both MS Explorer & Netscape Navigator.
|
| 9 |
All graphics should
be original or be identified as copyright material and refer back to the originator
if applicable. Use of 'borrowed' images will lead to automatic disqualification.

Finally,
and most importantly, give us a reason to come back. |
