Best Public Relations Web sites to be Named by Web Marketing Association in 27th Annual WebAward Competition

The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best PR Websites in the world as part of their 27th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at the WebAward Web site. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 86 industries, including advertising, PR and marketing web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for public relations web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2023.

“The public relations industry understands the importance of independent evaluation and third-party endorsements of their online efforts on behalf of their clients,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “In the public relations industry, a website can be a powerful tool for showcasing your clients’ stories, expertise and impact. The WebAward Competition provides a platform for PR agencies and internal corporate Public Relations departments to showcase their website creativity, innovation and effectiveness in communicating their clients’ messages to the world. Winning an independent award can provide PR firms with a newsworthy event to promote both externally to the public and internally to senior management.”

Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the advertising category is judged against other advertising entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.

All PR 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 advertising and marketing categories will also receive:

  • Handsome statue or certificate of achievement
  • A limited-edition Commemorative NFT
  • Increased visibility for their company
  • Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
  • Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
  • A highlight for your resume.
  • Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers
  • Unlimited bragging rights
