- Views on what constitutes acceptable art content are wide and varied and although we do not desire to be seen as discriminatory we have set our own standards on what we view as 'family safe' and / or 'child safe' surfing'. Any award program which upon assessment shows it is linked to, affiliated with, promotes and / or endorses sites displaying art content and such content, upon close examination, proving in the opinion of the majority of our evaluation team to be of quality, even though such content includes nudes, will not be excluded from WebsAwards but the relevant content will be assessed according to the following criteria and rulings:
- • Is the art content specific to mammary, genital or sexually based items of an offensive non child safe nature with the site not displaying clearly any notation of ' Parental Guidance Recommended ' being suggested or required? If no, the site will continue through to our next requirement for art content. If yes, the site does not qualify for any further assessment.
- • Could the art content be safely viewed by children with parental guidance and supervision? If yes, the site will continue through to our next requirement for art content. If no, the site does not qualify for any further assessment.
- • Could the art content be safely viewed by any age group without either supervision or the need to display clearly any notation of ' Parental Guidance Recommended ' being suggested or required? If yes, the site will continue through the overall assessment process. If no, refer to the above two items listed.
- • Nudity of the human form is not classified by WebsAwards as indecent under the following conditions:
- • Images must be displayed in a tasteful and respectful manner within any specific area set aside for art content.
- • The site owner or designer must notate areas including nudes and / or risque content as ' Displaying Nudes ' or ' Displaying Adult Material ' and include the information that these items may be viewed displaying the notice ' Parental Guidance Recommended ' and with ' borderline' material being notated ' Parental Guidance Recommended ' - all notices being clearly visible to the viewer.
- • Images must not be directly or solely focused on genitalia areas. We do not deem such material to be child safe.
- • Applicants making application under the above definition and conditions must keep in mind that the images offered should be, at all times, deemed child-safe with ' Displaying Nudes ', ' Displaying Adult Material ' and ' Parental Guidance Recommended ' notices being clearly stated and displayed as required.
- • For the purposes of the above definition a 'child' will be considered to be any person under and up to the age of 13 years.
