Web Achievement Awards Categories
Recognizing achievement in websites and blogs. These categories will recognize your web-related achievements since the beginning of 2023. You may focus on any sort of achievement, including technical improvements, creative enhancements, increased visibility and viewership, complete or partial redesign, writing, user engagement - whatever you and your team have done since the beginning of 2023 that you want to crow about.
Nominations that won in the 2024 ABAs may be resubmitted for consideration in the 2025 ABAs. If they have been updated with recent achievements, they may be submitted to the same categories in which they won. If they have not been updated, they must be submitted to categories different from those in which they won.
Information to be submitted online for entries in these categories for the 2025 ABAs will include
a. An essay of up to 525 words describing the nominated achievements, OR a video of up to five (5) minutes in length describing the same. Make sure that your entry focuses on your web-related accomplishments since the beginning of 2023, or the judges won't rate your nomination highly.
b. Any number of supporting files and web addresses that you may upload to our server to support your entry and provide more background information to the judges. These may include URLs, video clips, photographs, press reviews, news articles, and so on
c. Optionally, you may list creative and production credits for your nominated achievement(s): a list of people on your team who contributed to its success.
