The Canadian Weblog Awards Jury Criteria / Critères du jury

2010 Canadian Weblog AwardsCanadian Weblog Awards Criteria
Critères du jury

The jury will use a number system to value the criteria and weight their decisions. The weblogs in each category will be judged against two divisions of elements: Design and Content. Each division's elements will be awarded 0 to 2 points — 0 if the element is poorly executed, 1 if the element is average, and 2 if it is excellent — for a possible perfect mark of 20 points.

Design
  • Usability and accessibility — Is the website user-friendly and easy to navigate for people of all abilities?
  • Functionality — Do all of its components function properly?
  • Interactivity — Are a comments section and author contact information available? Are its interactive components (including comments, audio, video, etc.) effective and functional?
  • Aesthetics — Is the website pleasing to look at? Is its design original?

  • Content
  • Originality — Is the content original and creatively expressed?
  • Intelligibility and clarity — Is the content well-written? Are the content's messages clearly and effectively delivered?
  • Currency — Is the content timely? Is the weblog updated on a regular basis?
  • Transparency and authenticity — Is the author's purpose and realness both trusted and apparent?
  • Attention to detail — Has the content been edited for spelling and grammatical errors? Is the content arranged for ease of consumption?
  • Engagingness — Is the content interesting? Does it contain broad appeal within its genre?

  • ----------------------------------------

    Le jury utilisera un système de pointage pour appliquer les critères et peser ses décisions. Les blogues de chaque catégorie seront jugés en deux volets : design et contenu. Chaque volet sera numéroté de 0 à 2: 0 pour une exécution pauvre, 1 pour une exécution moyenne et 2 pour une excellente exécution. La note parfaite est de 20 points.

  • Convivialité — Le site est-il facile d'utilisation et de navigation?

  • Interactivité — Le site possède-t-il une section Commentaires et Contact avec l'auteur? Ses composantes interactives (incluant commentaires, audio, vidéo, etc.) sont-elles efficaces, appropriées et accessibles?

  • Contenus

  • Originalité — Le contenu est-il original et exprimé de façon créative?
