his is the Gate Page to the journey for our Award Program. Our program is a theme of a journey, including maps, routes, signs. We understand that some people just want to apply for a web site award to have their site evaluated for design, purpose, code. This is great and you can be sure that we will look at your site inside and out. But we have also done a great deal of work to make our program unique. We hope that you enjoy your journey and learn something as you travel. Your journey will be one filled with the excitement knowing that VISITOR'S will actually help make the final decission on your evaluation. We are pleased with the response to our program and the amount of applications we receive. Our award is by no means a easy award to be honored with due to our panel make-up. But we are committed to help a site reach the goal in this journey.

Again we Thank you for visiting with us. If you answer the few questions below we invite you to continue on with this journey for the Dove Award. Our program is unique in the fact that our review panel is made up of 7 which includes just ordinary surfer's like yourself. Our program is set around a theme...of taking a journey to make a difference. Our best hopes and wishes go with you on this journey.
