142x40 (1215 bytes)
1. All sites must have already won at least 5 web awards (10+ recommended)!
They must be 5 different awards (by 5 different judges on 5 different sites).
2. Overall quality of your web site should clearly be higher than the average.
3. Add the Top 50 Award Winning Web Sites award/button in an obvious spot.
(If not put on the home page, you won't get as many votes as sites who do!)
4. All of your awards should be seen on awards page(s) for easy verification.
5. Site must be kept up to date, within reason (no bad links or missing images).
6. All sites must be safe for All family members to view (Kids OR Grandma)!
7. Sites with illegal, unethical, discriminatory or hate content are not allowed.
8. Have fun! Ask your friends/family (and their friends) to vote for your site!
NOTE: 2 more requirements listed here before have now been eliminated!
(If you meet all criteria, you should be notified by e-mail within a few days.)
Our ranking is displayed according to the number of votes received,
with updates to the numbers being made INSTANTLY! Previously, it took up to 24
hours for voting updates to be displayed and votes were NOT reset at the beginning
of each new month. This made it hard for new sites to move to the top of the list.
For a ranking of sites by total number of awards received, visit The
Top Ten Most Awarded Web Sites List by Ulrich Leive.
See the tabled listing below for members of
The Top 50 Award Winning Web Sites that are also displayed on there!
NOTE: Countermeasures against cheating now in place are stronger than ever before. Unlike other top site lists, this one has been
ongoing since 1999. When first started, it took winning an award rated
at 3.0 by Award Sites to be eligible for The Top 50 Award Winning Web Sites List. Later that year, the requirement was changed to simply 5 different awards. As you will see below, over Twenty-Five sites that have
been a participant on
this list have won over 500 awards! These sites should provide an
inspiration to webmasters everywhere. Visit these amazing sites to see
how they did it. (Some have not yet migrated to our new system and domain name.)
Regardless, we appreciate their participation.
ALL of the criteria award givers use in deciding whether or not your web site deserves their award should be kept in mind if you want to join us.
If your site moves to a new host (server), please update your site's info here promptly. Please try not to break your banner ad links either.
If your site is on a web host that does not allow images to be viewed by remote links (Geocities, Angelfire, Tripod and most other free hosts have done this for example),
we now have a way to display a banner for you. Just let me know (e-mail it to me or tell me where I can find it on your site)
and I will assist you. We also have a Top 50 Award Winning Web Sites List off-site file archive which you can use if that is needed.
Ideas, feedback and suggestions to improve this Top 50 list list are always encouraged.
Feel free to review our Privacy Policy, which also includes our Disclaimer and C.O.P.P.A. compliance statement.
In general, we respect the privacy of our members, visitors and their kids.
To track awards you apply for, I suggest using the latest Awards Worksheet.
This also has a link to a list of the World's Top Awards, needed for the Superb! Website Awards (100+ awards required).
For the most globally recognized award ratings, (from 1.0 to 5.0+) try Award Sites.
I'd like to thank all the webmasters, past and present, who have participated in the Top 50 Award Winning Web Sites list.
As a group, we probably need to thank all those award givers too!
After all, they took their time to review our sites and made us feel good as award winners.
Special thanks to artist Ulrich Leive of The Little Dog JOSCHI
and Top Ten Most Awarded Web Sites List for his support, suggestions and allowing me to display Top 50 sites who also are (or have been) in the Top 10.
ALL of these sites certainly deserve this extra recognition!
Sincere thanks to Edison, webmaster at www.ixtapa-zihuatanejo.com,
for designing the 5-Star Top 50 Award and graciously allowing his fellow Top 50 webmasters to display and link with this logo/voting button (in addition to OR instead of the others) if they want.
Last, but certainly not least, I'd like to thank Candace Burgin.
Winning her award is something many of us have in common.
She started this Top 50 Award Winning Web Sites list and deserves
credit for designing the original Top 50 button, which we ALL are proud to display.
Good luck at getting Top 50 votes and winning even more awards,
Bob Chapman
