CONGRATULATIONS

Your website has been awarded the Otakou New Zealand Online Creative Design Award.

Winning our Award is not easy - our criteria is often difficult to meet but your success shows that, above all else, you have created a website that has quantity, quality and feeling.  I therefore present you with our 'Otakou Creative Design Award'.  Your web site was thoroughly reviewed/critiqued prior to award consideration.  I am pleased to report your web site has received a rating of "Excellent".  Well done!!  You may view the full criteria for this Award at our Website based at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~portserv/index.htm  We are proud to have you on our winners list; your website link will be online no later than Thursday - NZ time.  You have worked hard to create your website and to produce the standard of quality our criteria demands.

Your website URL will be listed at Otakou for the month of your win.  If you win your Award after the date of the 20th in any given month, your Award will be forwarded to you, but your listing at our website and entry for the monthly Otakou Top Ten Award will be held for the next following month.  e.g. If you win your Creative Design Award on the 23rd May 1999, your listing will be in June 1999.

Regarding the monthly Otakou Top Ten Award:  You do not have to re-apply.  Once you are awarded the Creative Design Award, your entry is automatic.  Your website will be assessed by two Judges totally unassociated with the Otakou New Zealand Online Website other than to be contracted to assess the Monthly Top Ten Award entrants.

Only the first 3 place getters receive the Graphic Award but all 10 placegetters will receive a further listing in our Top Ten Award listing for the month of your win -  e.g. you win your Top Ten placing in March 1999 -  you will be listed April 1999).  The Top Ten Winner will also receive top billing in our monthly online Newsletter "NEWZLYNX".

PLEASE NOTE:  IT IS MANDATORY UNDER THE AWARD CRITERIA THAT ALL AWARDS BE DIRECT LINKED BACK TO OTAKOU AT URL:
