The Web Marketing Association (http://www.webaward.org) announced today the winners of its tenth annual WebAward Competition for outstanding web site development. More than 2,300 web sites from 35 countries were adjudicated in 96 industry categories during this year's WebAward competition.
Entries were judged on top web site design, copy writing, innovation, content, interactivity, navigation, and use of technology.
The World Wide Web continues to evolve in terms of Web site development and the expectations of visitors to sites, said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. The Web sites today are more integrated than ever and have multimedia tools embedded into the site rather than as links. The WebAward winning Websites have once again set the standard for all Web development. This accomplishment serves as an invaluable marketing opportunity for both the winning website and company and serves as a benchmark for all Websites within the each industry.
The 2006 Best of Show WebAward is presented to New York-based Big Spaceship (http://www.bigspaceship.com), for its outstanding work on the "TBS: Department of Humor Analysis" web site at http://www.tbshumorstudy.com. The web site also won for Best TV WebAward. TBS's Dept. of Humor Analysis works hard to put the "very-" in front of "funny." To help TBS steer clear of common pitfalls in this cut-throat, dog-eat-dog, rabbit-outwit-duck, duck-shoot-pig, anvil-smush-coyote, Chico-trip-Zeppo field of funny business, Big Spaceship joined forces Mother Interactive to turn their very silly questionnaire into an addictive, fully interactive web site.
R/GA (http://www.rga.com) was named Top Agency at the 2006 WebAward Competition, taking home 19 WebAwards. The Top Agency Award recognizes the consistently outstanding development pursued by interactive firms when creating top website designs. R/GA has also won more WebAwards than any other organization during the past decade, although this is their first Top Agency Award. R/GA, headquartered in New York, won 12 Outstanding and 7 Standard of Excellence WebAwards.
