BBW content - I am looking for unique, moving, funny and positive content concerning BBW sites. Body acceptance is very important and I look for positive sites empowering BBWs! I don't want just a bunch of links. Links are great, but if that's your only content then it's not worth an award! Any sites that are pornographic in nature (risque is fine - XXX is NOT!!!), hateful or demeaning to women or BBWs won't even be given the time of day.
Nice layout - Are the backgrounds easy to read? I am looking for sites that are easy on the eye - no clashing backgrounds and text, no text that is hard to read. Fancy fonts are nice, and can make a great statement, but paragraph after paragraph of calligraphy is hard to read. If a page takes 15 minutes to download and it's worth it, you might get the award. If there are just a bunch of useless graphics that take up a ton of space and don't contribute to the asthetics of the site, then you won't win it. I'm fair and I realize that ring and award pages on your site are going to take a while to load. That's acceptable.
No Broken links - I check my links one or two times a week. I want to make sure that my readers can get the most up-to-date information on my site. Finding links that are constantly broken can be very annoying, not to mention time consuming. I would like your links to all be working, too!
No Broken/Stolen Graphics - I love to see all the great artwork out there and sometimes it can really set the mood. One thing I do hate is seeing an "X" where a photo or graphic can be. I know that at times services like Geocities can have problems and cause these, especially where counters and guestbook information is concerned and I do that that under consideration. If you steal graphics by linking directly to someone's server instead of saving the graphic to your hard drive and then uploading it you are a loser! Sites that do this will be disqualified. Bandwith is precious - don't steal it!
Any site that crashes my computer after 2 tries will be disqualified! I have a good computer with a big hard drive and a lot of memory, - it takes a lot to crash it!
I will not be giving this award to just ANY BBW site and you MUST meet the criteria! I will be giving this award out to sites that are the MOST EMPOWERING BBW sites! In addition to filling out the form below I will be checking out sites at random and you may just get a surprise award! If you win the award you will be added to the Winner's Circle and a link will be put from here to your site - all I ask is that you put a link back here to the awards page! :-D
Think you're ready to apply for this award? Fill out the form below. If you do not hear from me within 2 weeks, it means that you have not been awarded, but you can try again in the future - I've seen a lot of sites get better a few months down the line. Signing my guestbook also helps - I want to know what you think of MY site! The award shown is a SAMPLE and is not to be used! If you win you will be sent the original award! Good luck everyone! I look forward to seeing those great sites!
