The Dreamworld
community leaders and cosmic volunteers have a great interest in the development
of Area51 themed sites, especially Star Wars sites. There are many sites that helps make up Dreamworld and we like
to encourage and promote talent and people's efforts.
Below are samples of the awards we offer for Area51 themes websites. A description of each is included. |
|
|
|
Dreamworld Illusion Award -- This award is is given out to any Area51 themed site that has only been
made within the past three months. The awards is given to those sites that demonstrate an owner's committment to
the development of their site.
|
|
|
Dreamworld Illusion Elite Award -- This award is given out to any Area51 themed site that has been around
for more than three months. The site must demonstrate an owner's committment to their site.
|
|
|
Dreamworld Jedi Master Award -- This award is given exclusively to Star Wars sites that can serve as
a shining example of the best of the Star Wars web universe.
|
|
These awards are not given lightly -- only sites that demonstrate hard work and dedication
are recipients. As these are awards restricted to Area51 themed sites, please note that you must be applying for a site that fits the theme (see the Area51 Resource Center for specifics). If you believe your site or someone else's site deserves recognition, please read the
criteria first
and refer to the Tutorial pages for hints on good design and other tips before applying. |

The criteria we look for in award winning sites
|
Originality
Original information and content is a prize find on the net. We have all been on the
net long enough to know that a site with little thought and creativity invested in them are boring, and sites that
give us something to be excited about are the ones who will win. |
Content
The site must have a central theme. No smattering of loose odds and ends all placed
in one page. Sites cannot be commercially oriented nor should there be any pornography and other distasteful elements
within. |
Style
Though content is and always will be king, the layout and style of the site will be
nearly as important. Graphics should ideally be mostly original, and the layout unique. We don't ask for stunning
artistry, just a layout that is sensible and stays unobtrusively in the background. |
Function
Sites that are filled with under construction signs will not be considered for the
award. All good sites are constantly under construction, and if your site is not ready, you should defer applying
for this award until a better time. |
Quality
Quality is the harmonic combination of all the elements that set apart average sites
from superior sites. Clear navigation, clarity of writing, distinctive graphics, original ideas, and volume of
content all contribute to this characteristic. |
Subjectivism
CLs are human too and we have our own likes and dislikes. Therefore some subjectivism
on our part is still a factor, but we promise to carry out decisions with the greatest care and judge as fairly
as we can. |
