Do I have to be an adult to vote or to visit this site?

 

 

You can visit this site whether you are an adult or not. There is no adult content on this site.
To vote or to visit the nominee sites and winners you need to be of a legal age because those site do have adult content. Those sites are hosted elsewhere so you must also abide to their Terms and Conditions, specially with regards to legal age.

 

 

 

 

 

Why can't I use a web mail?

 

 

Web mail addresses are easy to get and many people has more than one.
To keep this contest fair, every person should expedite 1 vote per category. If voters use webmail addresses we can never be sure a voter has voted only one time per category. Restricting to ISP e-mail, we can control this more precisely. Although for people that has access to more than one ISP mail or has access to many dns e-mails, we ask them to be fair and vote only once per category.

However you can use a web email address to sign up and participate as a contestant or pageant.

I don't have an ISP e-mail, neither my own connection to the Internet. How can I vote?

 

 

Chances are you are using a computer at a public place. That is not a good place to review Adult material. So for, you can not vote. (Sorry)
If you are using a connection trough a proxy, ask your system administrator to issue an e-mail address. It wont matter if you use a business email, your vote is confidential and your
privacy will be kept untouched.

Can I vote for my own site?

 

 

Every site's first vote is automatically added when the entry is submitted. That vote accounts for it webmaster.
To be fair with all contestants we disallow all incoming votes from the same address as the website is. For example: if the site submitted was bawy.org, no incoming votes from addresses ... are accounted.

How are the votes collected?

 

 

Votes are collected electronically. The data a voter submits, including his/her Email address spends a few seconds traveling to our custom made votes-collector-program. Once it has arrived its electronically taken to a location inaccessible through the Internet. These are safety measures to protect voters ID and to keep safe their privacy.
Once a vote is submitted our custom made surveying program can detect fraudulent submissions and multiple votes from a single user. Suspicious submissions are not accounted for.
Results for votes are available to us instantly. However, results are not made public until the release date as stated elsewhere. -

What will you do with my email address?

I don't see adult pictures on BAWY.. where are they?

 

 

Stop looking for them. There is no adult material on this site.
When the voting poll opens adult material will be displayed after clicking the nominee links. That material will never be present on this site.

Why do I have to pay an entry fee to submit my site?

 

 

A fee is charged to all nominees to regulate the amount of submissions. The commitment of the participants and their seriousness.
All submissions are human verified. Thus, it make no sense for us to verify fake submissions or sites not related to the person who submitted it.
This fee also helps to pay for bawy.org expenses.

Dec. 1st, Dec. 10th, March 1st. - Why those dates where chosen?

 

 

BAWY is an annual contest. People will expedite their opinion through votes for what they think your product/service looks like at the end of the year. We assume at this date your work has all the details you planned to add during the year and fixed/replaced what was not right. We assume you are a new web developer. If you are not, it does not really matter. For this event you have a year long (unless your website stays the same from previous year(s)) to present your work as you want it to be judged.

Regardless that our year ends on December 31st, December 1st was chosen as the due date for all site/work submission due that it falls in a month too close to major festivities and time is short. On the same date opens the submissions for the next year contest. Do not wait till last time to submit your work. Your submission can and will be rejected if modifications are required.

To be fair with all contestants an opening voting date had to be chosen instead of keeping the contest open the year long. December 10th was chosen as the date to open public voting.

We would like to stretch the time available to vote as much as possible but at the same time we want to have the results of previous year contest with the same urgency so the winners enjoy a full year of glory starting the closest to the beginning of the new year. We believe over two months will suffice for vote capturing so the due date for vote submission is March 1st. Results are published at BAWY
's home site on March 20th. During these 20 days we will be issuing and coding the official trophies and awards.

How many winners to the sweepstakes will be?

 

 

That depends on how many paysite winners are found.
Hopefully there will be at least one winner on each categories. Categories can be added if necessary to cover other topics. In that case the amount of winners will also increase.
