About the BAM Award

BAM Award Sites are basically sites that help promote widespread knowledge and awareness of Basilar Artery Migraine by linking to this site. I am in the process of creating different levels of the BAM Award: gold, silver, and bronze. This award will acknowledge these sites' excellence in helping to promote BAM awareness worldwide. The program itself acknoweldges that getting the word out is, by its very nature, a project that requires the help of the worldwide Internet community.

All sites nominated will have to meet certain criteria before being granted the award, and the award level will depend on criteria as will be outlined in this site (no offensive or "adult" sites may be eligible, for instance). Individuals' pages and sites will be eligible for the award just as educational, institutional, and professional sites will. Recipients will be given the option of displaying the award on their site.
