The deadline for advertising web sites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2015.<br \/>\n\u201cFamily websites are more than just online babysitters for kids,\u201d said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. \u201cA family web site should provide both education and entertainment that is appropriate for all members of the family.
