The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best environmental Websites in the world as part of their 17th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including environmentalweb sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful web site. The deadline for environmental websites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2013.
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.
Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Environmental Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges.
Recent Best Environmental Website winners include:
2012 – McMillan for Canadian WildLife Federation timeline
