Entering is easy. Simply create a nominator account or log into an existing account
from past years. This password protected area will allow you to enter
multiple sites, edit the information up to when the judging begins and

competition. If you entered last year, you can resubmit your entry with a
single click!
Websites 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 WebAward Top Agency award recognizes
consistency of effort and is given to the interactive agency that wins
the most WebAwards in a given year. All locations and offices of a
specific agency will be consolidated for the purpose of determining the
winner of this award. In a change from prior years, each entrant will be
awarded points based on the level of award for each award received. A
Best of Show will be worth 10 points, Best of Industry 5 points and each
Outstanding award 3 points and a Standard of Excellence 1 point. The
agency with the most points will be awarded the Top Agency Award for
2013.
Each
year, many agencies and some corporations win multiple awards and
deserve additional recognition. This year, we will recognize each
organization that wins 6 or more WebAwards with an Outstanding
Interactive Developer trophy. In 2012, there were 19 agencies recognized
with this prestigious award.
