About the Web Festival
Web Festival is a special event within the CARNet Users Conference -
CUC 2002. Through the Web Festival the organizers want to improve the
quality and expand the Croatian Web information space.
Web Festival provides the authors with an opportunity to present their
work and compare it with the work of their competitors, at the same
time allowing the general public to evaluate the best achievements.

CUC 2002 Web Festival Topic
This year the Web Festival will be a competition for the best unofficial
Web site created as a result of enthusiasm of an individual or a smaller
group of authors guided by the idea of promoting on the Web a certain
idea or topic familiar to the author and of interest to the wider public.
The organizer has defined three categories of Web sites:
-
Web
site which presents the geographical entity:
This category includes non-commercial Web sites that represent,
for instance, a country, region, city, town, place, district, lake,
sea, river, island, natural attractions, etc. Web sites that cannot
take part in the competition are all the official Web sites, as
well as those that have been financed in a similar way (e.g. official
city sites, tourist associations, agencies, etc.).
-
Web
site which presents a social group:
This category includes Web sites which informally present to the
public, for instance, a class, sport community, religious community,
society, organization, association, etc. Web sites that cannot take
part in the competition are the official sites as well as the commercially
oriented or sponsored sites (e.g. official sites of the registered
companies or societies of citizens, schools, and faculties).
-
Web
site which presents activities and phenomena:
This category covers Web sites that present to the wider public
hobbies or interests of the author or a group of authors, such as
sport, excursions, etc. In accordance with the defined criteria,
official or commercial Web sites cannot take part in the competition.
Personal home pages do not take part in the competition since their
topic does not comply with the rules prescribed by the Rules.
There are no restrictions regarding physical location of the registered
Web sites.
