RULES:

    Web sites eligible for consideration must have been created and viewable on the Internet during the calendar year of 2005. Because of the nature of this competition, participants are encouraged to enter only those web sites that represent true excellence in Web site design.

    Entries may be submitted for consideration by Web page designers, advertising agencies, corporations or individuals who wish to spotlight their creative achievements of interactive graphic design on the Internet. Entryfees for early entries are $ 125.00 U.S. per Web site, per category. Each work must be original and not based on the art work of a previous designer. Each web site submitted will be completely evaluated by a pre-qualified Web page designer and/or pre-qualified graphic artist representing an advertising agency, corporation, or company (see below). Web sites are evaluated for content, graphic design and programing. Entries may be submitted in more than one category, but multiple entries will require separate entry fees for each additional category submission. No adult or pornographic web sites are permitted in the competition.

    Entries may be submitted by mail or over the Internet at our Web site www.webpageawards.com. Entry fees submitted via regular mail should be made payable to "The International Web page Awards" by means of check or money order drawn on a U.S. bank. For payments drawn on banks located outside the U.S., an additional $40.00 will be required as an exchange fee. Entry fees for additional categories may be combined on one check.
