West Simsbury, CT (PRWEB) April 11, 2008 -- The Web Marketing Association announces the call for entries for its 12th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at Web Award Web site (www.webaward08.org). The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including newspaper web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for newspaper web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2008.

"Newspapers have used their newsrooms to become the premier creators of trusted content on the Web," said William Rice, president of the Web Marketing Association, Inc. "Their ability to cross-promote their offerings both online and off make them a powerful player in the local media space."

Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.

All entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward's professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

Winners of a WebAward in the newspaper category will also receive:

?    Image plaque or certificate of achievement

?    Increased visibility for their company

?    Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media

?    Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO

?    Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Newspaper Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges. Recent winners of the Best Newspaper Web site include:

2007 Forward for TheJewishDailyForward.com.

2006 Avenue A | Razorfish for NYTimes.com

2005 Variety for Variety.com

2004 BURST! Media for Christian Science Monitor

A complete list of past winners and the entry form for companies who wish to compete for 2008 honors can be found at the Best Newspaper Web site page (http://newspaper.webaward.org).

Using the quantifiable data collected from more than 15,000 Web site evaluations over the past decade, the WebAwards has defined and recognized industry-specific benchmarks for successful Web sites in each of the seven judging criteria and released an Internet Standards Assessment Report to detail the findings of the study. A copy of the 2009 Internet Standards Assessment Report, including details regarding the newspaper industry, will be provided to all participants

Judging for the 2008 WebAwards will take place in June through August and winners will be announced in September. Judges will consist of a select group of Internet professionals who have direct experience designing and managing Web sites -- including members of the media, interactive creative directors, site designers, content providers and webmasters -- with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in Web site development and technology.
