The Web Marketing Association
The WMA announces the call for entries for its 9th annual international WebAward Competition, which judges Web site development against an ever-increasing Internet standard of excellence and against peer sites within an industry. The interactive
services industry represents an important category in the WebAward competition, and the Web Marketing Association will again be honoring the Best Interactive Services Web site of 2005. The deadline for entry is June 1, 2005.
Web sites are judged on design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, navigation and ease of use. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in the category and then against an overall standard of excellence. The Best of Industry WebAward, a plaque with the image of the winning site embossed, will be given in each of the more than 90 industry categories, including financial services, small business, travel, advertising, transportation, and healthcare. The competition’s highest honor, the 2005 WebAward Best of Show, will be given to the one site that the judges believe represents outstanding achievement in Web development. Last year’s Best of Show winner was Arc Worldwide for their work on Behr Paint Interactive. The Web Marketing Association will also recognize the interactive agency winning the most awards in the competition with the Top Interactive Agency WebAward.
A complete list of past winners and the entry for companies who wish to compete for 2005 honors can be found at interactive.webaward.org.
