Awards Criteria
Sites that employ state-of-the-art techniques to get
their message across expand the
horizons of future web offerings. If your site exemplifies effective use of DHTML, SMIL,
XML, interactive audio and/or video, Flash or any other cutting edge technology,
consider applying for this award. View the
criteria for Advanced Technology.
The original Internet Brothers award program was founded
on the willingness of so many
to give back to the Internet community; to teach, to educate. We continue that tradition
by honoring those sites that strive to help others, that provide an informational
resource that makes us all better. Whether it be teaching others how to build a web site,
demonstrating the fine art of southern cooking, or sharing personal life experiences to
benefit someone else; we honor you, and thank you.

Responding to criticism that our previous award offering
was too difficult for budding web developers to compete, we offer this category. If you
are age 13 or under, this is your chance for equal footing. You are welcome to apply
in any of the other categories as well, but this is for the kids who inspire us with
their vision. View the criteria for our
Children's award.
You cannot apply for this recognition. The Elite Site
award is presented solely at our discretion to web sites that are pushing the envelope,
that simply blow us away. Perhaps they excel in multiple categories. Maybe they left us
breathless, or wondering — how did they do that? Most likely they contain content
the world has been waiting for. If you have received a category award, don't rest on
your laurels, keep working hard.
Sites of the Month
Each month the premier site, in our estimation, from all the category winners will be presented as Internet Brothers Site of the Month. The selection will be determined by our panel of reviewers, and will be featured with a month-long spotlight in the winner's gallery. From those monthly recipients, and a few other noteworthy choices, will come the contestants for the Site of the Year. Competition will be conducted through public forum and voting, and will culminate in the selection of a single site that best exemplifies the Internet Brothers hopes and aspirations for the future of the World Wide Web.
