WebAwards Call for Entries - 2009

Pete Prestipino — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 17:00:00 GMT

The Web Marketing Association has announced the call for entries for its 13th annual international WebAward competition.

The WebAwards competition sets industry benchmarks based on the seven criteria of a successful website, recognizing individual and team achievements of Web professionals who create and maintain outstanding websites. Website Magazine has been fortunate enough to win a Web Award, and speaking from first-hand experience, we can attest that the value - both of participating and of course winning - is immeasurable (in a positive way).

"The WebAwards is different from other website award programs because we're not just a beauty pageant focused on name recognition and design," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association. "The goal of the WebAwards is to not only recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing some of the most effective websites on the Internet today, but also provide valuable benchmarking data to entrants on how their sites stack up against their peers and industry standards of excellence. We give Web developers a way to be recognized for their creative excellence."

The deadline for entry in the 2009 WebAwards is May 29, 2008.
A complete list of past winners and this year's entry form can be found at www.thewebawards.org.
