About Web Marketing Association

The Web Marketing Association was founded in 1997 to help set a high standard for Internet marketing and development of the best Web sites on the World Wide Web. Staffed by volunteers, this organization is made up of Internet marketing, online advertising, PR, and top web site design professionals who share an interest in improving the quality of online advertising, internet marketing, and Web site promotion.

The Web Marketing Association is the producer of the WebAward Competition.  Now in its 13th year, the WebAwards is the premier annual web site award competition that names the best Web sites in 96 industries while setting the standard of excellence for all web site development.

Few Web site award programs recognize the individual achievement behind the creation of today's top web sites the way we do at the Web Marketing Association. We believe it is important to recognize the people and organizations responsible for developing some of the most effective and best web sites on the Internet today. Winning a web site award is also an internet marketing opportunity for the award winning web site.

But more than just an award program that Internet marketing experts use to increase web site visibility, the WebAwards provides a benchmark by which all Web site development can be judged. More than a decade’s worth of judging scores defines what Internet marketing professionals should strive for in their web site marketing and design efforts. These historical results are now used to provide a point of reference and feedback to web site marketing professionals who enter. Visit http://www.webaward.org/winners.asp.
