The Astronomical League Board has approved the newest award to be handed out by the Astronomical League; it is the Webmaster Award. One award will be handed out each year to the Webmaster with the best club’s web site. With the increased popularity of the Internet, the web site is an important asset to astronomy clubs. Most web sites are designed, administered and updated by the club’s Webmaster. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge the club Webmaster who does an outstanding job of web site design and administration.

Eligibility
