Nominees

As well as accepting individual nominations, we're also nominating suitable sites which feature in the Usenet HTML Authoring Newsgroups, 'comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html' and 'comp.infosystems.www.authoring.site-design'.

• Vlaams Onafhankelijk Ziekenfonds - Flemish Health Insurance (Belgium) ****
  Nominated for 'accessibility enhancements' by a reader in Belgium.
• Dave's Folder Icon Collection - A UK Homesite ***
  Nominated for pointless HTML markup by a reader in Scotland.
• VK and KK Homepage - A German site offering HTML hints and tips *****
  Selected for generating 35 pages of HTML errors, reported by a Usenet contributor in Great Britain.
• The British Broadcasting Corporation's commercial website *****
  Nominated for pure and simple inaccessibility, with a high degree of bloat. Also awarded a Web Colossus Star Seal. Try getting in with plug-ins switched off.
• The British Broadcasting Corporation's main website *****
  An overloaded and bloated publicly funded site. Both BBC websites were nominated by an English reader.
• IT for All (UK) *****
  This site purports to offer IT for all. The site's purpose, and its execution constitute a really funny oxymoron! They were daft enough to post this fact to an Accessibility mailing list. Sponsored, inter alia, by Mega$loth - say no more! Nominated by Phundria.
• LA Help. ****
  This is a most unwieldy page. A fraudulent "search engine s3kRiTz" site, according to its USA based nominator. It gets a custard pie too!
• Fluid Interactive ****
  Another unwieldy page, this one purports not to 'use technology just because we can'. Nominated by a a Usenet contributor.
• Deutsche Bahn (German Railways) ****
  Ho Hum! Another high-profile publicly funded site, this time in Germany. Nominated by a reader in Scotland. 'Optimised for arguing with customers.'

Please note that these gradings and descriptions applied at the time these sites were nominated. Some of them may have subsequently been altered.
