The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including advertising, design and marketing web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for advertising web sites to enter to be judged is May 29, 2015.<br \/>\n\u201cThe dissemination of information over the Internet had truly changed the way investors and The Street interact with a public company,\u201d said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. \u201cIt is critical that public companies provide timely and accurate information on their websites to insure a proper valuation and to meet all disclosure requirements. Having that aspect of your website reviewed is just one benefit of participating in the annual WebAward program\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 in the advertising category is judged against other advertising entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.<\/p>\n<p>All advertising 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 advertising and marketing 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><strong>Here are the past Best Investor Relations WebAward winners:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2014 &#8211; Atlas for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=30466\">APRA Sustainability Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2013 &#8211; eSiteful Corporation for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=25425\">CB&amp;I 2012 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2012 &#8211; eSIteful Corporation for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=18536\">CBI 2011 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2011 &#8211; WPP for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=16062\">WPP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2010 &#8211; The Coca-Cola Company for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=15926\">The Coca-Cola Company 2009 Year In Review<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2009 &#8211; Astral Media \/ Revolver 3 for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=12724\">2008 Astral Media Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2008 &#8211; frog design for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=11926\">GE Corporate Web Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2007 &#8211; POP for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=8355\">Brown-Forman<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2006 &#8211; cramer-krasselt for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=6759\">AirTran e-Annual<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2005 &#8211; Resource Interactive for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=4091\">Limited Brands 2004 Annual Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2004 &#8211; VSA Partners, Inc. for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=1940\">Ameritrade Holding Corporation Web Site<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2003 &#8211; Evia Helsinki for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/winner.asp?eid=795\">Metso Annual Reports 2002<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Companies wishing to have the investor section of their websites wishing to be considered for the Best Investor relations Website can submit their website for consideration at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webaward.org\/?utm_source=WMABlog&amp;utm_medium=Release&amp;utm_term=Advertising&amp;utm_content=CFE&amp;utm_campaign=WebAward\">WebAward.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The 2015 WebAwards are sponsored by the following leading organizations: Burst Media, EContent Magazine, ExactTarget, ad:tech conferences, Webmaster Radio, and Website Magazine.
