Award Criteria


Text menu at bottom of page

ONLY COMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED!
Some folks were not adding site name, or even the site address to check or what award.

General Criteria

Having a rating such as SafeSurf, ICRA, ICCS, etc. as a plus, but must also be coded as such and not just a "borrowed" graphic.

Please ONLY sites in English will be considered as it would not be fair to rate what I can not read.

You should have Alt-tags on all images and graphics, those describe the images and graphics on your site.

You should have a privacy policy and a copyright statement.

No one under the age of 13 will be considered in order to comply with C.O.P.P.A.

Pages should be easy to navigate and of course not crash browsers.

Site should not have external links or graphics that do not show up and no internal bad links. A good free program to check this is called Xenu and can be found here.

If you use frames, they need to "work" and getting trapped within the frames is not acceptable.

Text needs to be readable with background, and not so small that it can't be seen without squinting.

Some sort of central theme and not have every page looking like an individual site itself.

All sites on the web are constantly "under construction" so no "Under Construction" graphics please.

Site should load quickly. Overuse of animation, java, etc. tends to slow load times down terribly.

You must have an awards page or what would be the point?

Disqualifying Criteria

  • 1. No sites containing pornography, profanity, nudity, material that could be considered offensive, racism, or harmful to animals or containing links to the same.

  • 2. Your site must not have violence, hatred or discrimination, warez, crackz, or hackz or other illegal activities, or links to the same.

  • 3. No websites that require me to join in order to review them.

  • 4. No long loading times. Your site should not be full of useless graphics that slow down the loading time.

  • 5. If you borrow or use someone else's material or graphics you must give credit and if you did them, copyright and be proud of your work.

  • 6. Bandwidth theft is not permitted at ANY time. Images/content should be stored on your own server.

  • 7. No INTERNAL dead links or graphics since you can control these.

  • 8. 15 (ten) or more broken EXTERNAL links and/or 5 missing images.

  • 9. Animated cursors that drive my mouse crazy and things that follow my mouse while looking around.

  • 10. If the site disables right mouse click as I have to be able to check to see the properties of your site and to check page titles. If anyone would want to take your graphics all they have to do is get them from the cache anyway.

  • 11. If the Award is altered or optimized or otherwise changed in any way.

  • 12. 10 (ten) or more animations or applets per page as this slows things down.

  • 13. A horizontal scrollbar visible in a 1024x768 screen resolution or higher.

  • 14. Having less than 5 (five) pages of actual content (award(s), guest book(s), or blog(s) do not count)

  • 15. Not having the proper password in the application.
