Speaking of which, when the award guidelines say the site should work in all browsers, does it imply that the browsers being tested are only the newest versions? Our website works in the newest version of all browsers but fails on some old ones (IE 6/7 or something like that).
The main old browser you need to be concerned with is the IE series. Now I will try to make a website work for IE6, but you could also take the route of displaying a notice that states "Hey you are an really really old browser. Click here to upgrade to a new faster secure one". Then list FF,Chrome,IE#. However, I would try to optimize for IE7. You could use this site to get a feel for the number of people using each web browser and what version they usually run. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

However, I don't think you will be counted off horribly for not being able to display properly in IE6 and others.
