The Crap Website Awards

The Crap Website Awards are coming!

You know what it's like, you're stumbling around the interwebs looking for awesomes and suddenly you find yourself staring at the kind of breathtaking crapness you just can't keep to yourself;  Backgrounds that make it impossible to read the content, big colourful animations that just don't fit and designs that...  well...  just have no design sense at all.

These websites need to be immortalised and praised for their shoddy construction and ugliness.  That's why we (well, Jon actually) came up with The Crap Website Awards.

All you have to do to submit a website and give it a chance to win is share it on Twitter using the #crapwebsiteawards hashtag.

As you'll see from the images here, the standard is VERY low.

To see the current submissions, click here.

I haven't set a date for the awards yet or decided what categories there should be because I'm crap too.  This is all about the crapness so as far as I'm concerned, it's all good.  Get submitting and comment here with category ideas.  If there's enough craplove I might make things all big and official like.

I disagree strongly, as you can CLEARLY see the banner at the top of the first image advertises quality website design! Thus making said website the best in the world!

I love you man..in a straight manly way...

I sill need a ff app but the idea is to get rid crap on the web.. people need to grasp the concept a crap website does nothing.. so love the article :)
