Web Marketing Association Calls for Judges

The WebAwards are on their way and the Web Marketing Association will announce a call for judges for the 10th annual competition. The judges will be Internet professionals who have a direct experience with website management and design, including members of the media, interactive creative directors, site designers, content providers and webmasters. You can nominee yourself at the WebAwards website.

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. Entrants also benefit from receiving valuable feedback from the WebAwards professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

?The WebAwards is different from other Web site award programs because we?re not just a beauty pageant focused on name recognition and design,? said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association. ?For 10 years, industry professionals have provided the backbone of our award program and helped thousands of Web sites get the recognition they deserve. As a WebAward judge, you are helping to set the standard of excellence for all web site development. Judging challenges you by having you visit and review web sites that you normally would not visit. Being a judge helps develop a critical eye to the many facets of leading-edge web development.?
