The deadline for energy websites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe energy industry is very competitive when it comes to Web development and companies can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts,\u201d said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association.\u00a0 \u201cThe most effective energy websites are true e-commerce sites designed to build long-term relationships with users and key constituents such as government regulators and shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.<\/p>\n<p>All 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\u2019s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webaward.org\/theblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtrophy_2015.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-729\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webaward.org\/theblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtrophy_2015.jpg\" alt=\"newtrophy_2015\" width=\"173\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webaward.org\/theblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtrophy_2015.jpg 173w, https:\/\/www.webaward.org\/theblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtrophy_2015-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.webaward.org\/theblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/newtrophy_2015-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 173px) 100vw, 173px\" \/><\/a>Winners of a WebAward in the energy category will also receive:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Handsome statue or certificate of achievement<\/li>\n<li>Increased visibility for their company<\/li>\n<li>Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media<\/li>\n<li>Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO<\/li>\n<li>A highlight for your resume.<\/li>\n<li>Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Energy Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recent winners of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winners_detail.asp?yr=all&amp;award_level=best&amp;category=Energy&amp;utm_source=WMABlog&amp;utm_medium=Release&amp;utm_term=energy&amp;utm_content=CFE&amp;utm_campaign=WebAward\">Best Energy Web site<\/a> include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2014 \u2013 Nebo for Mirion Technologies Redesign<\/p>\n<p>2013 \u2013 Nebo for MAGE SOLAR USA Website Redesign &amp; PPC<\/p>\n<p>2012 \u2013 Mineral for AV &#8211; EV Solutions Website<\/p>\n<p>2011 \u2013 Weber Shandwick Visual Communications for Luminant Power Track<\/p>\n<p>2010 \u2013 Savage for Tenaris Corporate Website<\/p>\n<p>2009 \u2013 NJI Media Group for Energy Townhall<\/p>\n<p>2008 &#8211; B\u00b7U\u00b7T for DuPont in Energy<\/p>\n<p>2007 \u2013 Dell Global Site Design for Dell Earth<\/p>\n<p>2006 \u2013 Edison International for Edison International Website<\/p>\n<p>2005 &#8211; Macquariam for AGL Resources<br \/>\n2004 &#8211; Abengoa Bioenergy for Abengoa Bioenergy Corp<br \/>\n2003 \u2013 APS for aps.com E-care<br \/>\n2002 \u2013 Rhino Internet Solutions for Arizona Public Service<br \/>\nEnergy related websites can be entered into consideration for the 2015 Best Energy Website WebAward at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/?utm_source=WMABlog&amp;utm_medium=Release&amp;utm_content=Energy&amp;utm_campaign=WebAward\">WebAward Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Participants can improve their chances on winning a WebAward by visiting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/webmarketingassoc\">Web Marketing Association Facebook Page<\/a> and becoming a fan of the page.
