The Website Excellence Award
Overview
Each contest year, the Section Activity Committee of the National Association of Rocketry presents a Website Excellence Award for the top four Section websites. The winners are announced at NARAM and are presented with plaques. They also earn the right to display the award results on their website along with the appropriate Website Award Burst.
Similar to the LAC Newsletter Award, Sections will be asked to submit their website to be judged. Section contacts will receive a message sometime in early June to add their name to the list of websites to be judged. The websites will then be viewed and judged and the winners selected just prior to NARAM.
The Website Award Program Manager is the Section Activities Chairman.
