\"\"<\/a>The Web Marketing Association is looking for experienced Internet professionals who can help judge the Websites that are entered into its 24th annual international WebAward competition, the standards-defining award program that sets industry benchmarks based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. Interested individuals can submit their names for consideration using the WebAward Judges Nomination Form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2020 WebAward Competition for Website development<\/a> is currently accepting entries until May 29, 2020. Judging will begin in mid-June and run through early August.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe WebAwards is different from other Web site award programs because we\u2019re not just a beauty pageant focused on name recognition of big-time brands and pretty designs,\u201d said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association.\u00a0 \u201cOur judges are handed picked experts who have hands on experience either leading or developing some of today\u2019s top Websites.\u00a0 These individuals understand that participating as a judge in the WebAwards is one excellent way to give back to the online marketing community and help it to grow and evolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judges will consist of a select group of Internet professionals who have direct experience designing and managing Web sites \u2013 including members of the media, interactive creative directors, site designers, content providers and webmasters \u2013 with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in Web site development and technology. Past judges have included top executives from leading organizations such as Universal McCann, SapientNitro, T Rowe Price, Bridge Worldwide, Disney, Euro RSCG, Boeing, Huge, IBM, ING Direct, VML, Facebook, J. Walter Thompson, Gartner, Possible Worldwide, YUM!, Cuker Interactive, PayPal, Razorfish, Munich Re, Refinery, Ernst & Young, Magellan Health Service, Microsoft, R\/GA, Family Cookbook Project, Saatchi & Saatchi, SAP, Starwood Hotel, and Website Magazine.<\/p>\n

If you or someone some one in your organization would make a good judge, they can learn more and enter their name for consideration on the WebAward Judges Nomination Form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe vast majority of our judges return each year to participate again as a WebAward judge, but some need to take time off from judging and because of the popularity of the WebAwards there is a constant need for new judges\u201d, said Rice. \u201cPrior to the beginning of the judging, we spend several weeks discussing the current state of Web development and how it should be recognized through the WebAwards.\u00a0 Being a WebAward judge is a valuable experience that helps the individual better understand overall Web development and of course looks impressive on a resume or corporate bio\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
