The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best education Websites in the world as part of their 17th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development <\/i><\/span>at <\/span>www.webaward.org<\/a>. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including education, schools and university<\/span> websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for education websites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2013.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Education Websites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the Education category is judged against other education entries and then against an overall standard of excellence. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All education entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific criteria scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward\u2019s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Each year, the Web Marketing Association names the Best of Industry for the various education categories based on the score they receive from the WebAward judges.<\/span><\/div>\n
