🏆 The Prize

🚀 Apply Now

We’ll be using a rubric to guide our decisions. Judges will look for creativity, clarity, storytelling, design, and how your website reflects your journey.

  • Who can apply for the Website Award?

    • Anyone who has participated in Pineapple Empower program and has not previously won this award is eligible to apply. 

  • How will the websites be evaluated?

    • We’ll use a rubric that looks at four main areas:

      • Content Quality – Is your story clear, personal, and empowering? Are your achievements documented?

      • User Experience – Is the site easy to navigate and read?

      • Design – Is it visually appealing and organized?

      • Functionality – Are links working? Do sections load properly?

    • You don’t have to be a design pro — we just want to see you reflected in your work.

  • Does my website need to be finished before I apply?

    • No! We understand that a website is constantly changing. You can submit a website that is in progress. We encourage you to apply early and email us updates before the deadline if you continue to make changes.
