When we receive your award application we will then send you an e-mail indicating that we received your application. If you have not yet received our e-mail to you, either your e-mail address was entered in an incorrect manner or is no longer working. This whole process will take anywhere between one week to a month depending on how many sites apply at a given time. Please watch the status page to see how your site is progressing.
|
Sites will be notified if they are disqualified with reason given.
Example: This usually means that you did not read our criteria which plainly and clearly states what is unacceptable on sites and what will cause it to be disqualified. So please read all of our posted criteria before you apply.
|
We will add your initials with a number to our status page and conduct a preliminary visit to your website to check that you have all the listed required items needed and if there is anything that is on your site that could possibly disqualify your award application. We highly recommend that you completely read all of our criteria!
|
If your site passes the preliminary visit, we will then visit it again for a full evaluation and determine if it is an award winner. Your award graphic will then be sent to you, via e-mail attachment, with any further instructions needed if you win. Your site will be added to the winner's area after you have notified us that the award is on your site and has been verified that it is indeed posted correctly with a link back to this site being greatly appreciated.
|
If you do not win a White Swan award you will be notified and reason given, if wanted, with comments on how to improve your site. We have had some good feedback from applicants who have appreciated the input we have sent them.
You may reapply after a ( 2 ) month period if you have made
changes to your site that will meet and/or exceed our criteria.
