About the Award

This category is for catalog application lookup that is purely browser-based (websites) and does not require any special client-side app to be installed. Web-based catalogs are evaluated on criteria such as design, navigation, use of technology, innovation, interactivity, and quality of content. The content must be data-driven and dynamically presented to the client browser in HTML. Static PDF files are not considered web-based catalogs. Current versions of Chrome, FireFox and Edge will be used by the judges to assess the content. Requiring browser extensions or plugins is acceptable.

Eligibility 

• Company Type: Manufacturer/Remanufacturer
• Company Membership: Auto Care Association member in good standing
• Conference Attendance: Must have at least one representative from your company present at the upcoming Annual Auto Care Connect conference to receive the award.

Award Format

Judging

This award is judged by a panel of volunteers from the ACPN Community, following judging guidelines outlined below.

Each judge scores the submission independently from all the other judges. Each submission is judged on six general areas, with each general area evaluated on specific criteria, and scored on a scale from 1 to 5.

• Design
• Navigation
• Catalog Content
• Technology
• Tech Support
• Innovation

The submission is then given an overall score of 1 to 5. A total score will be calculated and the submission with the highest score is considered to be the winner.
