 Best
Web Site of Industry
— This WebAward is a head-to-head competition against those sites entered in the
same industry category.
The WebAward Best of Industry Statue stands an impressive 10" tall and 6.5" wide
and will stand out in anyone's trophy case. It was designed for the Web
Marketing Association by the world renowned artists at Society Awards, makers of
awards for MTV Video Awards, Golden Globes, Country Music Awards and other
notable award programs. Representing sculptural art with our iconic W in a flame
motif, our trophy is a symbol of achievement for our industry.
Outstanding Web Site
— Recognizing that several outstanding sites may be entered in the same category
and only one site can win Best of Industry, this award allows the Web Marketing
Association to recognize work above and beyond the standard of excellence.
Entries who score 60 points and above, but are not selected as a Best of
Industry will receive a personalized WebAward certificate
recognizing their achievement.
 Standard of Excellence
— This WebAward recognizes the
standard of excellence for which all Web sites should strive. Winners at this
level demonstrate that their site is above average and will receive a personalized WebAward certificate for their efforts.
Top Agency Award – This highly regarded award
recognizes consistency of effort and is given to the interactive agency that
wins the most WebAwards in a given year. All locations and offices of a specific
agency will be consolidated for the purpose of determining the winner of this
award.
Outstanding Website Developer Award – For those
companies or agencies that win 6 or more WebAwards this year, The Web Marketing
Association will recognize them with a new Outstanding Website Developer award
to recognize their outstanding achievement across many different sites.
All website award winners will have their award winning web
sites highlighted on the WebAwards web site in our winner’s database and on
their own personal winner’s page. Web site award winners will also be offered an
icon link that can be added to their Web site recognizing their achievement. A
press release and PR campaign will also be used to announce the winners to the
world.
