The Web Marketing Association judges will select the best websites used as advertising in 86 industries as part of their 23rd annual Internet Advertising Competition (IAC) Awards.

Companies or agencies wishing to nominate their website advertising work for consideration may do so at www.IACAward.org<\/a> before the deadline of January 31, 2025.<\/p>\n

“In today’s digital marketplace, websites are not just a platform; they are the cornerstone of contemporary marketing strategies,\u201d said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. \u201cThe IAC Awards spotlight the transformative power of websites as essential tools in advertising that can captivate audiences worldwide. For marketing professionals, these awards underscore the importance of mastering web-based advertising to elevate brand presence and consumer interaction. This recognition is more than an award\u2014it’s an endorsement of skill and innovation in the digital space that professionals can leverage for enhanced visibility and acclaim among clients, prospects, and industry leaders”.<\/p>\n

The IAC Awards were developed to evaluate and recognize innovation and excellence in online advertising which includes a category for Websites. The Web Marketing Association\u2019s WebAward Competition for Website Development<\/a> will focus on the entire Web site, with particular emphasis on the creativity and functionality of the overall interactive experience.\u00a0 Websites entered into the Website category of the IAC Awards will be judged based on their advertising merit.\u00a0 A site can be entered in both the IAC Awards and the WebAward Competition.<\/p>\n
