**[SIZE=3]Site Requirements[/SIZE]**[list=1][_]Websites submitted must be at least **90% Flash**. Sites that have HTML pages with a Flash intro are ineligible. We understand that HTML sites are just as creative, but this is a Flash forum and the award is geared towards Flash developers. HTML sites are still free to showcase their work in the Site Check forum. [_]While it is understood that sites are perpetually under construction, please submit only complete sites. Do not submit a site that is less than **80% completed**. It is difficult to judge sites that have no content. [_]Submissions must be **actual websites with sections and content**. Examples of ineligible include (but not limited to) flash games, movies, etc. [_]Works containing objectionable or offensive material are automatically disqualified and deleted. **Keep it clean** please! [\*]We (the moderators) reserve the right to disqualify a site at any time.[/list=1] **[SIZE=3]Submission Requirements[/SIZE]** **How to Submit a Site** : To be eligible for site of the week, you must post a _Reply_ by Thursday in the current weekly thread. It will appear as a sticky thread at the very top of the SOTW forum, usually entitled _“Submit here”_ followed by the current date. If you missed this deadline, don’t worry, a new thread for the next week will be set up shortly and you can submit there. **Do not start a new thread**. Any site check requests, project plugs, or invalid submissions will be either deleted or moved to **[Site Check](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=22)**. This will give the SOTW forum a more concentrated purpose and organize submissions so no one is left out and the votes remain as unbiased as possible. **Submissions will be capped at 10 participants per week**. This keeps it feasible for moderators to sort through submissions, vote and critique. Each person is only allowed **one submission per week** ; it would be unfair for one person to take up additional slots with a limit in submissions. This is on a first come first serve basis, so don’t hesitate or wait until the last minute to submit your site. I encourage you to please peruse through the **[SOTW Winners Archive](http://www.kirupa.com/gallery/sotw.asp)** to get a better idea of the caliber of websites that generally receive the award. **[SIZE=3]Judging[/SIZE]** A private poll will be held among the **[Forum Leaders](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showgroups.php?s=)** every weekend. The weekly results will be posted on the Tuesday following a given weekly run. Moderator critiques will also be posted anonymously. The moderators have a choice to vote [COLOR=red]None of the Above[/COLOR], along with the other entries, to ensure that only the high quality sites will receive the award. **[SIZE=3]Schedule[/SIZE]** **Friday** : a current weekly thread will be locked and a new one, for the coming week, will be started by an official forum moderator. **Friday - Monday** : there will be a private poll among the moderators to elect a winner. **Tuesday** : the results will be announced and moderator critiques will be posted. The winning site will be posted on the front page of [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com). **[COLOR=blue]If you have any additional questions, concerns or suggestions of any kind feel free to post a reply to this thread or [send me an email](mailto:sensei@pixelsensei.com).[/COLOR]** Do not post your submissions here.

I’m beginning to never want to visit this forum, because the average intelligence here seems to be exponentially greater than even the Random forum :trout: 😉 ---
