Website Excellence Award
Overview
Each 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 typically 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.
The only requirement for a Section to be eligible for an award is to register their website before the judging begins, usually in early July. Sections will be notified of the registration details well in advance of the judging. The websites will be viewed and judged and winners will be selected and announced once the scores have been compiled.
The Website Award Program Manager is the Section Activities Chairman.
