My Awards ...

Welcome to my awards page! Here you can win Podel's awards. The awards are split into categories, with set criteria for each category so please pick the one which applies to your site the most. Before doing so please make sure you have read the rules and conditions of entry below.

Good luck !


                               Rules of Entry ...

                                 In order for you site to win an award you must follow the rules set below.

  1. Your site must be related to rats e.g. These awards are not for Bull terrier or Persian cat websites etc.
  2. You must have applied for the right award e.g. If your site isn't a Breeders/Rattery/ stud website then you can't win the "Brilliant breeders site" award.
  3. Your site must fill the criteria set by each award.
  4. You must link to my site from the award if you win it.
  5. New awards in each section may occur from time to time once you have won an award you are welcome to exchange it for a newer design but it must be from the same category as the first award.

I think that's about it for the rules and finally ....

                             Conditions of Entry ...

To enter for an award you must send me an email stating:

If  I do not feel your site deserves the award or it does not fit the award you have chosen I will not award it to you,  I will not give my awards out just because they have been applied for, I have to feel as If your site has won it! The awards are awarded based on my own opinion of the site.

Finally awards make take a while to be sent as I may wish to observe you site for a while if I haven't been there for a while and as I am a student I have other matters to attend to like exams and coursework :o(

Ok that's enough of the strict stuff...... Now on with the awards .........


                      Excellent rat information site.

This is an award for sites that are designed to give out information on all aspects of keeping rats. Sites applying for this award can either be a good overall site with information on all the basics e.g.. housing, feeding etc. or the site can be more advanced for example it could be about genetics. However all sites must be well written and user friendly, so that someone who wanted to find out about rats but maybe wasn't that good on computers could use them.

The award is show below ....

 

                                                                            

                             


                                                    Brilliant Breeders site.

To enter this award your site must be based on your rattery/ stud or current litters you have bred. Your site must be regularly updated so that potential clients are aware of what is available etc. Features that will secure you this award are pages that are user friendly, provide information for your potential new customers e.g.. Location, planned litters, nice clear photos of your rats would also be nice but information about the parents etc. is more important.

                                Fabulous photos !

This award is for sites with particularly good photographs (not pictures or graphics). It is an art to take good clear photos of fast little ratties and this award recognizes this! To win this award your site must have good clear photos, that aren't bleached by the flash or out of focus. They must be crisp and show true colour. Some poor photos will be allowed as long as the good ones out way them.
