Community Theatre Web Site Competition
Purpose: To facilitate improved communication and promote website development and excellence, the WV Theatre Association (WVTA) will hold a website competition each year. WVTA member theatre websites will be adjudicated by outside evaluators with experience in website development and design prior to state conference. Award certificates to be presented at conference will be determined by the adjudicators.
ENTRY FEE: $5.00 per entry plus Company membership in WVTA. RULES OF COMPETITION Remaining steadfast and loyal to the concept of promoting WVTA, each theatre website submitted for adjudication should have on the home page of its website the WVTA logo with an active link to WVTA’s website: www.wvtheathreassociation.org. The presentation of the logo may appear on the site as may be required to maintain the site’s overall design. The logo/link does not have to appear “above the fold” – an area of the screen visible to a web site visitor without having to scroll before seeing the logo. A website submitted for adjudication that does not display the WVTA logo/link on its home page cannot receive any award higher than an award for Excellence and is not eligible to receive the First Place Overall award. Adjudication of the WVTA Website Competition shall be completed prior to the WVTA Festival in November. No person may serve as an adjudicator in the annual competition who is also on the team of website designers for a theatre website submitted for adjudication. Decision and scoring of the adjudicators is final. DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1, 2017. |
