About UWSAG

Our rating levels section provides the specific scoring system that we use to honor award programs beginning with a level Alpha rating up to a level 6 rating.  The criteria section provides a detailed set of guidelines in each level that we use for our rating service.  We offer a self test to help you prepare and of course an area to request a rating review.  You will find that we offer a very attractive badge for our members and a detailed individual listing for each award program in our Halls.  Along with offering an award program rating service, we provide a membership listing for any web site that is actively seeking awards from our rated members.

Who we are

The UWSAG Board is comprised of a minimum panel of 4 members.  We all as officers have various skills and strengths that we feel unify us as a Team.  We maintain close working relationship and our focus is on ways to improve our efforts as an indice and to set a standard for our members that helps them to achieve their highest potential.  UWSAG does expect more from our members and we don't think we would be providing a just service if we had it any other way. We have an open door policy about asking for help through our contact section and also openly in the UWSAG Forum.  Because we take our rating seriously, it is not given out lightly.  We expect you to do your part and we will do our part by giving you an honest review based on our openly available score sheet and criteria.  With each evaluation, you have the opportunity for advancement but we will also expect you to seek improvement by adhering to our set criteria and point system.  Without enforcing our criteria, we would have failed in our mission. A UWSAG rating is not a 'time served' honor, it is a reward issued on increasing merit while adhering to our set guidelines.

What we do

UWSAG is based on the concept that both award giver and award seeker should work together to improve their efforts by providing, and expecting a higher standards in workmanship as well as common courtesy.  To achieve this requires hard work on both accounts.  UWSAG has spent many hours refining our criteria to be an example of quality and provide the framework to assemble a productive award program.  Our aim is to offer simple, concise, and manageable standards when designing an award program.  We feel, through our collective experience, that the guidelines we offer will provide you with the right path to excel in your efforts.

As an award seeker, UWSAG has a true desire to help bridge the gap between the award program and to give you quality advice, instruction, and recognition from the award programs that are listed with UWSAG.  While we cannot insist on how an award program should operate, we do reward and acknowledge any award program that goes the extra mile to assist its applicants.  We have recently provided in our Hall of awards a new icon directory to help you easily identify award programs that aspire to help their applicants through feedback or are consistently recognized as a select award program.

We invite you to visit our Resources and take advantage of the many resources we have listed for you.

On behalf of UWSAG, we thank you for visiting us and hope to be of service in some way.

Our programs

The Incentive Programs are divided into two specific parts, one for the award seeker "Seal of Approval Nominee", and one for the award giver.

Our Award Givers program is targeted towards building integrity and commitment to respecting the award seeker. We believe that as an awards program owner, you should be considerate of those who apply for your award and treat them with courtesy. Any award program that is rated by UWSAG is required to participate in the award givers program. This is something you should consider before requesting a rating with UWSAG. We established this program to offer an additional incentive that recognizes award applicants who consistently respect the award program owner by following their criteria and set guidelines when they submit an application for review. By following instructions as provided by any rated UWSAG award program, the award seeker is given a special token of appreciation by UWSAG when the rated member submits a vote for you as a member of UWSAG

Award Seeker Incentive Program. All you have to do is register as a Award Seeker member, apply to UWSAG rated programs, and adhere to their set criteria as an applicant. If you would like to learn more about these programs, please visit each section for more details.

Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have.  As an additional courtesy to you, we have provided a Quick Search section to quickly help you find what you are looking for
