Many NCCC Clubs have obtained a domain name and rely on a Club Webmaster to maintain a Web Site
for their Membership and other Visitors. These Club Web Sites, along with the Region Web Sites and
the NCCC Web Site have become valuable tools for the NCCC organization and its Members.
The NCCC Annual Club Web Site Contest was begun in 2005 to honor the efforts put forth by these
Clubs to promote their Club, their Region and NCCC.
As in previous years, Club Web Sites entered in the 2010 Contest will be judged mainly on content,
however, overall appearance will be considered. Timely Club information as well as promotion of NCCC, the Club’s NCCC Region
and NCCC’s FCOA program will be a big plus.
2010 Rules
1. The NCCC 2010 Club Web Site Contest entry will open January 15, 2010 and close on
June 6, 2010. Any NCCC Club that is in
good standing with NCCC and has a Club Web Site may enter the Contest.
Steps One and Two for Entry must be properly followed and these Steps are spelled out in
the 2010 Web Site Contest Entry Procedure & Form
document linked below. HOWEVER ~ No Club Web Site may win the NCCC Club Web Site Contest in consecutive years.
2. The Judges for the 2010 Contest will be put before the Board of Governors for approval on February 27, 2010.
Any NCCC Member wishing to be considered as a Judge for the 2010 Club Web Site Contest must contact the NCCC Webmaster no later than February 26, 2010.
It is preferable that the Judges not be a National Officer, a Regional Officer or a Club Governor however all Volunteers will be considered.
New for 2010
A Judge's Club Web Site may not be entered in the Contest.
3. All Club Web Sites that are entered will be linked to the
NCCC Web Site under Awards to Earn & Contests to Enter starting about
June 8, 2010 for the enjoyment of all of the NCCC Membership.
4. Judging will take place between June 10, 2010 and July 12, 2010. Scoring by each Judge will be on a 10-point
scale with 10 being the highest. All Judges follow the same Scoring Sheet
but judge independently. They will be allowed
to award Bonus Points for what they feel is outstanding Web Site content not covered on the Scoring Sheet.
Bonus Points (1 point to 5 points) may be awarded no more than 4 times for a Total of
20 possible Bonus Points.
The NCCC Webmaster will tally all of the Points awarded by the Judges and
determine the Winner.
The NCCC Webmaster's decision will be final.
5. The Winner and all of the Entrants will be announced and the Winner's 1st Place Award along with the 2nd and 3rd Place Awards
will be presented on July 30, 2010 at the NCCC Convention Banquet in Palm Beach, FL.

the Place Winners will also be published in Blue Bars.

In return for their Sponsorship, the Place Winners of the Contest must have agreed on
the Entry Form to place the Zip Products Logo and create a link to the Zip Products
Web Site on their Club Web Site Home Page.
Such Logo and Link must remain for one year or until the NCCC 2011 Web Site Contest Winners are announced
(whichever is the longer period of time).
8. The Club Governor must complete Step One for Entry. The Club Governor and the Club Webmaster
must complete and mail the Form(s) in Step Two for Entry that includes the
agreement to the Home Page Link in No. 7 above. This may be 2 mailings…one from the
Governor and one from the Webmaster but they both must be postmarked no later than June
10, 2010.
9. Realizing that Web Sites are at the mercy of their Web Site Host Server, any Club Web Site that
is not accessible by the Judges will be attempted on three different days by each Judge before being eliminated.
