Website Award | Print |

The Website Award recognizes organizational members' websites.  The primary goals of the Website Award Program are to: 1) encourage all audit shops to improve their websites, 2) reward organizations that have good websites, and 3) provide audit shops with general guidelines for improvement.  Website Awards are given to the three organizational member websites determined by the judges to be the best demonstrations of content; usability and accessibility; design; uniqueness; and a wildcard (for extras or exceptional areas). If the judges deem appropriate, an "Honorable Mention" may be awarded to any organization.
