REVIEW PIPELINE
From submission to winner
A published profile records recognition permanently and credits both the website and its submitting studio.
Eligibility check
We verify that the public URL works, the submission is complete, and the website meets the published rules.
Panel review
Independent judges score the website from 1 to 10 against each of the five criteria.
Nominee status
Work meeting the quality threshold receives a permanent nominee profile and can progress to winner selection.
Winner selection
Judge scores form the primary result. Verified community voting provides a secondary signal when entries are closely matched.
Monthly and yearly review
Daily winners become eligible for Website of the Month. Monthly winners become eligible for Website of the Year.

Independent by design.
Judges do not review work where a direct conflict exists. Scores are recorded individually, abnormal voting patterns can be excluded, and paid submission never guarantees nomination or an award.
