All webmasters listed are dedicated to these programs and are happily accepting applicants. If you find a site that is not there, or not operating an Award Program, please notify the Award Forum. For most Award Programs the sites that are nominated and up to win an award usually have to be at the top of their game in web design. There are many factors that come into web design that makes a good site or a bad site. Award Recipients are graded on their site, and need to remember the basics when building quality websites that will earn sites awards.
Suttle things make a huge difference.
Having a way to contact the webmaster is a great thing because it gathers feedback, always surfers to tell when something on the site is wrong, and other helpful things. A site without this is lost and communications are down. It's like a relationship. Award Programs should have excellent websites as well and reflect the standard that they expect from the applicants and ultimately the sites that receive their awards. APs should excell above the criteria they set and applicants should want to link to that site.
