The Web Marketing Association is looking for the Best Events Websites in the world as part of their 28th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 90 industries, including Events websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for Event websites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2024.
“In the vibrant events sector, a website serves as a crucial beacon for spotlighting your event, drawing participants, and ensuring an unforgettable experience,” emphasized William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “The WebAward Competition offers a unique opportunity for digital creators and entities behind these event-centric websites to display their creative genius, pioneering solutions, and proficiency in crafting events that leave a lasting impression and provide significant value to attendees. This platform applauds their ability to turn event promotion into an art form, enriching the attendee journey and setting new benchmarks for engagement and experience.”
Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.
All entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward’s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.
Winners of a WebAward in the Events category will also receive:
- A limited-edition Commemorative NFT

- Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
- Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
