Once again, the 1998 Best of the Web Contest will be held in conjunction with
 Museums and the Web, the only international conference devoted to museums' use
 of the World Wide Web.  [The full program for MW98 is available at the
 conference web site: http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/]

Awards will be made by an international panel of judges, representing the
 spectrum of those involved in web site development in museums including
 previous winners, students, artists and initiators of innovative projects. The
 criteria used for evaluation of the best museum Web sites will be based on the
 draft Criteria for Evaluating Museum Multimedia (see
 http://www.archimuse.com/cidoc/cidoc.mmwg.eval.crit.html) put together by the
 ICOM/CIDOC Multimedia Working Group in Nuremburg in Sept. 1997.

Return the on-line nomination form
 (http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/frame_best.html) to nominate your favourite site
 for consideration. The winners will be announced at the opening ceremony in
 Toronto. Prizes include free registration at Museums and the Web 99 for the
 institution judged Best Overall.

Rewarding innovative projects, whose conception illustrates the possibilities
 for future designs on the Web is a the concern for all involved in museum web
 projects. Please join me in ensuring that the Best of the Web is a great venue
 for this.
