That's just one of the reasons why Port80 ran the inaugural WA Web Awards last year (http://www.wawebawards.com.au). Standards and Accessbility was one of the categories and although not all of the finalists were standards compliant, it was one of the many judging criteria used (our own Russ Weakley was one of the judges). Overall, the proportion of standards-based entries was quite high and I expect that to just get better and better. Planning is already underway for the 2006 awards and as Port80 is now expanding to other states (Canberra has started, i think Brisbane will be next) and countries (Rochester New York) in the future other state-based web awards may start popping up. In short: support any initiatives that start in your area, if a standards-friendly awards program is something you'd like to see! -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.zombiecoder.com/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
