Apply For The Dragonfly Award

This award has been created to show my appreciation for beautifully designed websites.
Hard work and creativity should be acknowledged.

Winners will be showcased on a separate page with a link to their site.

This award program is intended to be not quite as "snobbish" as some of the others out there.
Fancy Flash graphics and intricate Java scripts are not required to have an excellent website in my opinion.
However, awards are not presented to webmasters just because they have applied for it.
There are a few guidelines that are expected to be met in order to receive one of these awards.



1. Sites that contain pornography, racism, intollerance to any religious or spiritual beliefs, anti-patriotic themes,
sites that demonstrate prejudice against gender or sexual preference,
or sites with any themes violent in nature, will automatically be disqualified.

2. Sites that are entirely or primarily comprised of only links to other sites will not be accepted.

3. Your site must be easy to navigate through. Hitting the browser's "back" button several times
to return to the main page is annoying and time consuming.

4. Your site must be in English, or offer an English language version.

5. A typographical error here and there is understandable. Hey, everybody makes mistakes now and again!
However, sites with a great deal of typos or poor grammar will not be considered.

6. Broken links or images will disqualify your site.

7. Slow loading time due to extremely graphically intense pages will disqualify you.
Consider breaking up your graphics onto several pages instead of dumping them all onto a single page.
Although my personal computer has a cable modem and does not restrict my loading time,
I will also be evaluating your site with a dial-up connection.

8. Websites with original content are definitely preferred. Sites merely showcasing "borrowed"
graphics are not acceptable.



And here are the awards.

Awarded to sites that meet the criteria and are generally very good.	Awarded to sites that meet the criteria and contain great content and good layout.	Awarded to sites that meet the criteria and are just plain excellent.
	Awarded to sites that meet the criteria and deserve extra special recognition for their work. Given to sites that truly capture my attention, and that I'll want to bookmark and visit again and again.

Does your website meet the above mentioned qualifications? If so, fill out the form below
and I will evaluate your request. Recipients will be notified within 2 weeks of their application.
The very best of luck to everyone, and I look forward to enjoying your websites!
Although certainly not mandatory to win any of the awards, it would be greatly
appreciated if you would sign my guestbook!
