Site's/Site Submission and Age restriction 

Your journey depends upon certain guidelines Which will take your nowhere or anywhere as you continue to travel in making the difference 3.  we take pride in the fact that we spend hours looking over websites for the Dove Award is valued to us for we must make a difference one website at a time accept  Personal Home pages, organizations, churches, schools, non profit ministries and educational, other than the ones listed in upon our list on the previous page.  We will except commercial sites of non corporation status  (INC) only if that site offers more than just selling of products or services. This means the site must offer the visitor something about a subject or materials dealing with some material's other than just selling of their product.

Coffee [Explanation] If you are selling coffee beans then we will evaluate your site if you tell us about coffee beans. Share some knowledge about coffee beans to us like, the growing, harvesting, roasting, different types of beans, history etc, your site must give us....... the visitor information and resources more than just selling of your product that you craft,grow,author,or simply are just selling.  We require originality and a site that is easy to understand, on  their level...simply the level of those who come to visit your site the Internet surfer.

4..  We reserve the right to consider what we deem as a suitable site. Artists,or craft type sites are not considered to be commercial if they contain information about their art or craft [See number 3 above].

 5. Free servers are not acceptable, you must have your own domain.[Explanation:] Web hosting is the service that allows you to have a website on the internet. I like to think of it as online storage units. The data can be hosted on fast servers for a monthly fee, or for free on overcrowded - slow servers. Free web hosting is very popular because of the easy access it provides beginners to build their first website. What about Domain Names? Free hosting most often does not include a domain name. Your website address with a free host usually looks something like yoursite.freehost.com or like www.freehost.com/bobswebsite. These are called sub-domains and are not easy for your users to remember the address. Some will let you upgrade to your own .com domain name, but most of them require upgrading to a paid hosting package first.  Why is it Free?
Most free hosting companies make money by selling ads on your website. Everything from banner ads to pop-ups can generate revenue on user websites. Some free hosts get a little carried away, like one I have used that has 2-3 pop-up ads and several annoying banners. This may seem annoying but hey, it's free.

6.  Your application must be submitted by the owner/or the webmaster. 

7.  Age Restrictions:Though many websites are done by talented young people, we do not  accept applications under the age of 18 years of age.
