Web Marketing Association Accepting WebAward Entries

The Web Marketing Association called this week for entries to be submitted for what will be their 10th annual, international, "WebAward" competition. The arts industry represents an important category in the WebAward competition, and the Web Marketing Association will again be honoring the Best Arts Web site of 2006. The deadline for entry is May 31, 2006.

?The arts category is as diverse as the arts themselves,? said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. ?Arts sites are generally well designed and have wonderful content. However, they under perform in interactivity and use of technology. Arts organizations can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts that the award judges provide.?

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Arts Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges. Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use and receive a numeric score. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.
