  Award Policy and Rules
 

The WWW Awards, invites all commercial and personal sites to apply. We ask a few things before submitting your site to the WWW Awards.

(A) Reading and acknowledging the criteria used in the Program (B) Honoring the commitment to proudly display these Awards on the winning URL. (C) You must be the Webmaster or owner of the site you are submitting for a WWW Award. (D) International sites must offer an English translation, in order for us to be able to read the content on your site.

Some parties do not give these four requirements the respect they deserve and consequently, The WWW Awards  is disappointed each month NOT to be able to give some excellent Sites the credit they deserve - simply because these simple items were not followed.  Please read our criteria carefully.
A Award from the WWW Awards must be EARNED and all criteria must be met.

In order to comply with C.O.P.P.A. you must be at least 13 years of age to nominate a Web title. However, The WWW Awards requires applicants to be at least 18 years of age.


Rules Continued - Applicants must agree with the following rules before applying to The WWW Awards:

* Applicants understand that not ALL submissions win an Award.  Applicants, who do not win an award, may submit their sites again after 30 days of the initial application, if significant improvements have been made to their sites.

* By submitting your URL to the WWW Awards you are agreeing to have your winning URL publicly listed on our "Award Winners" page.

*You understand that Award Graphics may not be altered in any way shape or form, without written consent, from The World Wide Web Awards.  Altering our awards without written consent, can result in your link removed from our winner's page.

*Applicants, whom refuse the award they have won from the WWW Awards, will be banned permanently from applying for our awards in the future.  No exceptions!
