Award Criteria:
My purpose is to showcase poets and/or their sites which offer a high quality of unique, educative, informative, enlightening and original content in a well-presented, attractive, user-friendly format.
I want to reward and encourage poetic website poets/website owners, from the novice to the professional, who strive for excellence in poetic works or website design.
Concepts of web page design, content, aesthetics, and ease of navigation are paramout.
My program seeks to award those who have obviously put their heart into their work, as evidenced by clean and consistent poems or webpages that are aesthetically appealing to the eye or heart.
My awards are soley for the purposes of acknowledging poets or websites that exemplify the world of poetry.
I have quite a few awards to give to deserving poets and website owners. * Awards for poetry are given to original works posted in our forums only. No awards will be issued to poems submitted via email. Sorry, but I want visitors to my site to see your poetry too.
Poetry awards can be attained in several ways:
1.) Post your poetry in either one of my two forums. Forum one is for beginner poets.
Forum two is for serious poets.I will be reading poems in the forums and evaluating
them quietly in the background.Check back regularly to see if I have commented on your poem(s). I will also be reading the critiques of your poems, although this does not influence my decisions on awards.
2.)When you post your poetry in any of the forums, don't forget to leave a link to your website so I can stop by and take a look. You may receive a website award. I often go surfing for poets or websites and sometimes offer awards to those I find stimulating. I just may stumble upon you out there, on some cyber beach. You are not rquired to have a website to qualify for an award. You do however, have to be a poet.
3.) I may hear about your work through the grapevine, in which case I’ll probably track you down to have a look at your work where it is displayed.
4.) The criteria for the “Storm Of The Mermaid Award” is not written in stone. You never know when you are going to win it. It will be my little surprize! The "Storm Of The Mermaid Award" is watermarked (fingerprinted). which means I can trace it over the internet to sites which display the award. You must have my authorization to display any of my awards. Do not copy the awards from this site. Once you receive an award it will be forwarded to you as an email attachment. All winners will have their names and sites listed here on this page.
* Websites may submit their site via email for review. Submit websites only once.
* Website award winners names will be posted on the bottom of this page..
* All awards must be displayed unaltered. Exceptions to this rule are in regards to size only. You may resize the award to suit your needs, as long as the integrity of the image is not compromised.
* Winners who display their awards on other sites must link their award directly to this site. I must be able to click on your award and have it take me back to Seashore Poetry Critiques. Any winners who do not follow this requirement will have their award revoked.Upon revokation your award must immediately be removed from that site.
