First, a web site must pass a simple pre-evaluation. To pass this test, the site must simply comply with the rules listed on the requirements page.

Next, the site goes through an in-depth evalution of the criteria posted on the scoring page. Sites that score well may qualify for one of our awards.

We will notify you by e-mail within one month if you have won our award. Otherwise, you will not be contacted. Once you receive this e-mail you must post our award with a link to www.bontane.com and reply, telling where the link can be located.

Once we locate the link and approve it, we will add a link to your site under the Winners' section.
