The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including food and beverage websites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for food and beverage websites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2015.<br \/>\n\u201cBoth the foods and the beverage industries are 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. \u201cFood web sites are usually well designed and contain well-written content. Areas of improvement include innovation and use of technology. Beverage websites have traditionally been innovative and score high in design aspects.\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 food and beverage categories 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 industry websites based on the scores submitted by the competition judges.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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=Food%20Industry&amp;utm_source=WMABlog&amp;utm_medium=Release&amp;utm_term=food&amp;utm_content=CFE&amp;utm_campaign=WebAward\">Best Food Industry Web site<\/a> include:<\/strong><br \/>\n2014 \u2013 TBWA\\Tequila\\Johannesburg for McDonalds Monopoly<\/p>\n<p>2013 \u2013 SapientNitro for President\u2019s Choice Digital &#8211; Insider\u2019s Report<\/p>\n<p>2012 &#8211; Biggs|Gilmore for Froot Loops &#8211; Sooper Loopers<\/p>\n<p>2011 \u2013 Biggs|Gilmore for Apple Jacks \u2013 Catch the Taste<\/p>\n<p>2010 \u2013 Biggs|Gilmore for Apple Jacks \u2013 Catch the Taste<\/p>\n<p>2009 \u2013 G2 interactive for Fishful Thinking<\/p>\n<p>2008 &#8211; XylemCCI for Jack Link\u2019s Beef Jerky Web site<\/p>\n<p>2007 &#8211; Biggs|Gilmore for Pop-Tarts<\/p>\n<p>2006 &#8211; Publicis Net for Coca Cola BlaK<\/p>\n<p>2005 &#8211; These Days &amp; Sara Lee for Jacqmotte Escape<br \/>\n2004 &#8211; Emerald of California for Emerald of California web site<\/p>\n<p>2003 &#8211; Fairytale Brownies for brownies.com<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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=Beverage&amp;utm_source=WMABlog&amp;utm_medium=Release&amp;utm_term=food&amp;utm_content=CFE&amp;utm_campaign=WebAward\">Best Beverage Web site<\/a> include:<\/strong><br \/>\n2014 \u2013 Arnold Furnace for Jack Daniel&#8217;s Christmas Hub<\/p>\n<p>2013 &#8211; Arnold Worldwide for Jack Daniel&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>2012 &#8211; <strong>Odwalla &amp; 360i for<\/strong> Odwalla Goodness Grows Here<\/p>\n<p>2011 \u2013 Asterix Group for You Don&#8217;t Know Oz<\/p>\n<p>2010 &#8211; Hungama Digital Media for Pepsi &#8211; The Game<\/p>\n<p>2009 &#8211; BLITZ Agency forNaked Juice Web Site<\/p>\n<p>2008 &#8211; Eurorscg 4D Amsterda, for Carte Noire: \u2018Une Declaration Nommee Desir\u2019<\/p>\n<p>2007 &#8211; Squeaky Wheel Media forSoBe Beverages<\/p>\n<p>2006 &#8211; Creative Presence Partners \/ MaxMedia Design for KING JAMES<\/p>\n<p>2005 &#8211; Tribal DDB Sydney for Dare Shot<\/p>\n<p>2004 &#8211; Brown-Forman for Early Times<\/p>\n<p>2003 &#8211; Bacardi Global Brands \/ Motivo \/ cosmoblonde for BACARDI.COM<br \/>\nFood and Beverage Websites can be entered into consideration for the 2015 Best Food Website or Best Beverage Website WebAward at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/?utm_source=WMABlog&amp;utm_medium=Release&amp;utm_content=Food&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.
