Vintage Kin Web Awards are merit based and granted to sites that contribute to the preservation of family history; and/or sites that promote community values.  Not every site that applies is guaranteed an award.  We visit each website evaluating overall appearance, site content and ease of navigation.  Please note that due to language restrictions, non-English sites are required to provide an English translation in order for the site to be evaluated (excludes French & German which may be submitted for consideration in their native language).

To apply for an award email your name and a valid web address to the judging panel.  Be sure to type 'Award' in the email's subject heading. If successful, judges will allocate an appropriate award.  Click Here to APPLY NOW!
