Upon receiving your application, we will make an initial visit to your site to insure that it does not fall into one of the categories that will cause you to be disqualified. You are encouraged to read the following Hints section of this program. It contains what will automatically disqualify your application and the things we like and do not like to see. It could make the difference between whether you will qualify for one of these awards or not.
Once the first initial visit is complete and if you pass that review, you will then be sent a personal identification # and placed on the applications received list located in the Stats section of this program. All applications received after the 25th day of each month are carried forward to the next month in order for us to post our monthly statistics accurately.
The site is reviewed and scored using the guidelines set out in the scoring, criteria and in the specific criteria that is located beside each award in the graphics section of this program. Your final score will be reached by averaging out the scores of each judge combined. The final review will be completed within 30 days or less from the time we receive your application.
We only notify those applicants that are successful and the award graphic will be attached to that notification. If you do not hear from us within ( 4 ) weeks, you probably have not qualified for one of our awards at this time.
If you do not win one of my awards please do not get discouraged. If after 90 days you have made significant changes to your site, please feel free to re-apply. This 90 day time period also includes applications for upgrades to previous awards won.
