The site may cantain anything as far as content and images.

Judging will be based upon:

1. OVERALL LOOK AND FEEL
2. CONCEPT


3. PROPOSED FUNCTION
4. VALIDITY OF CONTENT
5. QUALITY OF WORK
6. USE OF COLOR (not number of colors, but how well the colors work togehter)
7. ATTENTION TO DETAIL
8. SITE APPEAL (based on home page alone - would you visit this site)

LAYOUT and DESIGN are different things. When an architect designs a building, he diesnt design just a shell, he gos in and designs the rooms and their strusture as well, whats inside the building.... but yeah, his colors are better. Hes even got an example of a site that is successful on content alone - Maddox - its UGLY as sin, butthe content is what makes the site
