Competition Format
The competition was judged by a team of independent Internet professionals representing a variety of relevant disciplines of Web site development. Judges included members of the media, advertising executives, site designers, creative directors, corporate marketing executives, content providers and webmasters.
The WebAward competition format allows Web sites to compete head-to-head with other sites within their industry to win the Best of Industry award. Entries also compete against a standard of excellence to win Outstanding Website and Standard of Excellence WebAwards. Each site is judged on seven different criteria and earns a score between 0 and 70 points. The highest score in a given category wins Best of Industry for that category. If the remaining entries receive a score of 60 or greater, they receive the Outstanding Web site award. Entries that score higher than their industry average and below 59.9 receive the Standard of Excellence.
“We are incredibly grateful to our panel of industry experts for their dedication and expertise,” said Rice. “Their commitment to the online web development community and the WebAwards program is invaluable. By generously donating their time and insights, they help set the standards for excellence in website development. We deeply appreciate their contribution to making this year’s competition a success.” See a list of Webaward judges here.
