I am a member of Ethics Pledge, an organization created with high ethical standards in mind for awards programs. As a part of this organizations I have taken a pledge to uphold the highest ethical standards in operation of my awards program by judging all sites that apply for my award with integrity, honesty, impartiality and fairness.

We, the Tamurilart Awards Team, Owner of all Awards Programs held at Tamurilart.com domain, do hereby declare on behalf of ourselves and any other evaluator(s) who may be contracted at any time by Tamurilart Awards to evaluate for any Tamurilart Awards-sponsored award program, that we agree to advance and promote the Web Site Evaluator Code of Ethics in order to ensure fairness to all applicants and to maintain the honor and integrity of applicants, evaluators and awards.

- We agree that all critiques given will be constructive in nature as positive comment is productive. We will refrain from criticism unless specifically requested by an applicant, and in such instances, will remain positive where possible in an effort to promote goodwill and advance the level of quality among internet sites.

- We agree to allow eligibility to all applicants who meet the "award specific" set criteria of any particular award, so long as they also meet the general criteria. We agree to be uniform in our eligibility requirements (criteria) and will fairly evaluate all sites/pages meeting our criteria which are submitted by any applicant. We further agree to clearly post these criteria in an easily locatable place.

- We agree not to discriminate on grounds of race, gender, nation of origin, religion, profession, age, mental or physical handicap, or any other reason which is not globally viewed as an illegal trait or manner of conduct.

- We agree to set forth awards criteria and to adhere to same. Proposed time frames for changes will be e-mailed within three (3) days prior to the final publishing of same with notices posted on site so all potential applicants can view and understand the proposed changes.

- We agree to evaluate web sites under the criteria which was in place at the time of any and/or all applications. If changes are made to criteria AFTER application(s) is/are received, the submitted site(s) will be evaluated using the criteria that was in effect when applicant(s) initially submitted the site(s).

- We agree to maintain a professional, friendly and positive manner in any and/or all correspondence and/or communication held with any applicant(s).

- We agree to evaluate all submitted sites within 1-9 weeks of receipt of submission. If this deadline cannot be met, we agree to suspend submissions until we can again work within this timeframe.
