JUDGING CRITERIA FOR THE Winton SES AWARDS

None of the Winton SES Awards are "Just given out". Each submission is viewed by at least four members of the Winton SES, and if the submitted site meets all the criteria for each level, the appropriate awards will be given.

If you do not meet the criteria with your first submission, dont worry. We will let you know, where you went wrong, or where improvements are required, and you are invited to resubmit as soon as you feel that your site is ready again. Also dont despair if you feel that your site doesnt meet our criteria. This is a great way for you to get someone else to critique your hard work. You never know, you might just get an award!
