The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best political Websites in the world as part of their 27th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at the WebAward Web site.

The deadline for political web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2023.
“Politian’s running for office and their staff understand the importance of a using a website to reach out to voters,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “Their websites should provide a resource for their key audiences and demonstrate their position on various issues. In the political arena, a website can be a powerful tool for promoting your candidate, platform, and events, and engaging with your supporters. The WebAward Competition provides a unique opportunity for political websites to showcase their creativity, innovation and effectiveness in delivering persuasive messages and building a loyal following. Having that aspect of your political website reviewed is just one benefit of participating in the annual WebAward program. Being recognized as an award winner can’t hurt either”.
