THE CRITERIA: In the course of publishing Politics1, we regularly visit LOTS of campaign and politically-related websites. Some candidates, campaigns and groups truly get the concept of using the Internet as a tool to effectively convey messages, promote increased citizen involvement, enhance voter education, and effectively and innovatively use technology to advance their causes. We created this award to recognize deserving sites from all states, and at all levels of campaigns, ranging across the ideological spectrum. The criteria is certainly subjective ("I'll know it when I see it," to quote the late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart), as we look for any one or a combination of the following: good content, sharp design, clever humor, creativity, innovation in organizing, use of new online tools, etc. The award is NOT about endorsing candidates or causes -- but rather about simply recognizing those campaigns and entities that effectively use the Internet as a political tool.
