these over the period up to the conference. So come back and look at this
page! Now this is one page you really want to register with the URL

Best Paper and Poster
We are happy to announce the prizes for best paper and best poster
for AusWeb96. Those that are voted to have prepared the best paper and poster
at the conference will receive an appropriate certificate and a complete
suite of Sausage Software's Web software
courtesy of Sausage. For the person who is deemed to have written the best
paper, there will be in addition, an invitation to present an updated version
of the paper at the 6th International World Wide Web conference in Santa
Clara in April 1997. The winner will be a guest of the Conference's Organising
Committee - of course the winner will have to get themselves to the Silicon
Valley and pay for their accommodation! Our thanks to Bebo White of Stanford
and co-organiser of the Conference, for organising this valued and valuable
prize.
Judging will be by a team made up of the theme editors supported by some
of our key visitors including Bebo White, Rik Hall from Canada and Martin
Putterill from New Zealand as well as keynote speakers.
Guess the Number of Registrations
We introduced in January the first of our competitions for AusWeb96. We're
going to be giving a bottle of Penfolds Grange Hermitage red wine to the
person who has the most correct estimate of the number of fully-paid delegates
at AusWeb96. Wine Spectator magazine (31 December '95) declared the Grange
as the best wine in the world for 1995 - the first time an Australian wine
has won this coveted award.
Send your vote by email to AusWeb96@scu.edu.au
with the subject line including the text "AusWeb96 Registrations will
total xxx" where xxx is the number you estimate. Please use this exact
subject line so we can filter the mail. Only one vote per person allowed
and votes must be in by the close of early bird subscriptions on
1 April .. you don't have to have registered by then, just sent in your
vote!
The competition is only open to registrants of AusWeb96 and the award will
be made at the conference dinner on Sunday, 7 July. If you're not there
to pick up your prize, the organisers will drink it on the spot! Or maybe
we'll leave it until AusWeb16 in the year 2016!
