Introduction:
This program is on-line since January 9th, 2003 and I've had the
pleasure to visit and to review a lot of web sites. Naturally since
then, I developed myself, and with me, my awards program,
consequently the awards criteria had to be changed.
When applying for my award,
you are giving me authority to review your web site according to my
award program’s criteria as listed below. If you will not win any
of my awards, do not take it personally or be disappointed, on the
contrary take it as a challenge to improve your web site. There is
always the chance to reapply!
All websites are welcome to
apply, naturally, excluding the HOT websites. The most important
thing is that your web site does not contain any pornography, nudity,
animal abuse, racism, smoking and alcohol, foul language or hatred
of any kind. Commercial sites created by professional web designers
will be judged a bit harder.
You have to be at least 16
years old and if you are an American citizen have a C.O.P.P.A.
Statement.
The web site must be either
in Italian, English, French or Spanish, or have a translated version
into these languages. Remember, I don't accept a free translation
online. I can translate some words, but not all the contents. Thank
you!
Sites need to be complete
and functional with at least 8 pages of original content. The
following pages will not be considered as original content;
Copyright, Privacy Policy, Code of Ethics, Guest Book, Webrings,
Awards, About Me, Contact Me, Forums, Chat Rooms and Classified Ads.
The web site must not have
more than three (3) pop-up advertisements windows; the automatic
pop-ups caused by free servers will not be counted.
The web site’s loading
time must not exceed 1 minute on a 56k modem.
Internal links must open in
the same window, while external links must open in a new window.
Horizontal scrolls in
800x600 screen mode are not accepted with exceptions of Guest Books
and Forums hosted on external resources.
All images and HTML need to
work properly and must have "alt", "width" and
"height" tags.
All images in your web site
must show well, and we only tolerate 1 external broken link.
A copyright statement must
be included on the web site.
Your web site’s content
must be original without any copyright infringements. If you use
contents or images from books or other sources, you must give them
credit and quote any references. Please read more information here.
Privacy Policy
-
A web site with an
award program should have a clearly visible link to the PRIVACY
statement.
-
All business and
commercial related web sites should have a Privacy Policy in
place.
-
Personal web site that
collect personal information should also have a Privacy Policy.
Your web site must be easy
to navigate without making use of the back button. The design theme
of your web site must be consistent throughout the web site.
All text must be easy to
read on your web site’s background.
Sites with a Flash Intro
page must provide a Skip Intro option.
When you apply for the
PREMIO NAPOLI, you must write "O' Sole Mio", in the
comment box of the application form.
I would appreciate a
notification if you change the location of the award, or you change
your URL, so that no broken links will be found within PREMIO
NAPOLI .
You should have a page to
display your won awards. If you say "None Yet", it is fine
with me, but if you have no plans of displaying your won award, then
please have the courtesy not to apply for this award. It is
important the awards won section will be easily found on your web
site.
Remember that your site
must give me something; your site must educate me. I love
photography but I don't look for sites full of photography,
photography, and again photography without explanations.
Re-submissions are welcome
as long as at least 60
days have passed since the last evaluation.
