How are websites judged?

Industry professionals from business, technology, and education serve as volunteer judges, objectively evaluating each submission in a wide array of categories, including layout, graphics, usability, content, and community impact. Twenty finalist websites are then evaluated by a group of judges from HowStuffWorks.com, who then narrow the pool to four team finalists. For more detailed information about judging, please refer to the WEBChallenge Program Guide.
