Vote for your favorite Windows 7 community website
Windows7update.com is running a competition to find the
‘Best Windows 7 community website’.
Several months ago, Winvistaclub and Mintywhite held competitions to find the best Windows Vista and Windows Customization websites.
Those were great opportunities to bring some good websites out of obscurity; this competition aims to do the very same.
Of course, since I am a judge as well, this site is not
eligible for any nominations.

community Website’ (or read on for more information)
Criteria
If you run a blog/website/forum, which focuses on Windows 7 news, buzz or information, you are eligible to participate. If you run a website that focuses on other areas, you will be eligible if your website has substantial content aimed at Windows 7.
Meet the Judges
Judges for this competition have been carefully selected and include:
- Onuora from Windows7update.com
- Dr. Arinze from MyNetResearch.com
- Rich from from Windows Tools, Help & Guides
- Robert from Las Vegas How To
- Nik from Wincert.net
- Matt from Official Windows Magazine
Judging Criteria
Each judge will choose four (4) websites to be entered into the final rounds by assessing the following criteria:
Original content
Quality content
Consistent content
Website design is not necessarily a factor in the
competition
Final Public Vote
Each judge will rank their four choices in order. The top
eight (8) overall sites, by points, will be entered into the
final rounds.
The final rounds will begin with a random slot assignment
(1-8.) Two sites will go head to head at a time (think of
the world cup finals.) The public will vote for the best
site in each ‘match’ and the winner will go on to the next
round. Polls will be held here on the main website; you do
not need to register to vote.
