FOR ENTRY
Rules of the Competition
- we welcome feedback
Which sites are eligible?
The site has to have a connection with Brighton and Hove, so it could
be a business or school that operates here, or the site of a community
group based here but with members all over the country.
The judges reserve the right to decide how far to stretch this rule
- we don't want to exclude anyone but if we reject a site we will explain
why. It's the first time so we don't really know what to expect and
as you'll se as you go on the judges have been generous in awarding
themselves sweeping powers in such matters.
What about adult sites?
We expect sites to be appropriate for everyone of all ages, so nudity
and profanity will not be tolerated. This also applies to any specific
materials which the judges consider to be offensive in any way, and
once again their decison will be final but will be explained.
Who can submit a site?
Anyone - it could be your own site that you made, just one you like,
or even one you wish you'd made. There's none of this stuff about employees
of the organisers thing, although they won't be eligible for the prize
draw.
Because there's going to be a public vote we may accept nominations
for sites either produced by or about one of the sponsors. We reckon
that those busy old judges will have to decide when they sit down to
shortlist.
Will the public be able to cheat and rig the vote?
Yes, probably. I mean that's what usually happens in online voting isn't
it?
To get round this we've left the very final decision about who wins
to the judges (surprise surprise) . We'll be asking people to identify
themselves when they vote and offering a prize as a way of trying to
get them to be honest.
So we may avoid mass spamming campaigns, but I think we'll have to wait
and see when the final votes are cast how obvious any underhand tactics
really are. And who's got the most mates.
Will you be using the information I give you to send me 'Get rich
now' messages every 20 minutes?
No. We will aggregate the information to get some idea of what sort
of people voted, and that information will be shared by the judges as
we mull over what the whole thing meant... but no personal information
will be used for anything other than to identify who wins the prize
draw.
Are there any other rules that I need to know about that aren't covered
by 'And anything else that the judges think of...'
No.
What do you think of them?
Join the mailing list and tell
us what you think.
