Web Marketing Year In Review

As 2009 comes to a close, the Web Marketing Association would like to thank everyone who helped make our annual award programs a success this year.

Our Award Show Participants - you trust us to judge your websites and online advertising fairly and without favoritism, with expert judges, and create an outstanding marketing opportunity for you when you win. For 13 years we have worked hard to develop an online system that gives everyone an equal opportunity to get recognized for their best work.

Our Award Judges - Our expert judges volunteer an incredible amount of expertise and effort in reviewing and analyzing thousands of entries each year. While personally rewarding in many ways, these individuals care about the state of online Web development and give back to the online advertising community.

Our Sponsors - Our sponsors are hand picked because of their leadership position in the world of online marketing. These companies support our programs by providing high value exposure to help drive traffic to our award programs. This year our sponsors include: BGT Partners, 24-7PressRelease.com, AllBusiness, ExactTarget, ad:tech conferences, Internet World UK, Search Engine Strategies, Burst Media, Webmaster Radio, Rovion and Website Magazine.

Our Volunteers - The Web Marketing Association is a volunteer organization and it is the dedication of those who give back to the online marketing community. The individuals who help us promote the awards, judge the entries, coordinate award delivery, blog about the awards and all of the other things that get done to make these programs a success for the past 13 years.

As we begin our 14th year, we promise to you that we will continue to improve our award programs, provide unbiased evaluations of your entries and recognize the best Web sites and online advertising each year in our WebAward and IAC Awards programs.
