The W³ Awards honour digital excellence by feting exceptional websites, web marketing, video creation, mobile sites and apps as well as social content formulated by the world’s best interactive agencies, designers and creators.
The nominees in each category endure a thorough assessment, with website entries scrutinised for creativity, usability, navigation, functionality, visual design and ease of use.
The entire judging process is conducted by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an eminent collective of professionals from acclaimed media, interactive, advertising and marketing firms.
AIVA members include top-tier executives from organisations such as Conde Nast, Disney, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Microsoft, Yahoo!, MTV Networks, Polo Ralph Lauren, the Sotheby’s Institute of Art and Wired.
The event’s award-winners featured multiple Fortune 500 corporations.
This is why merely being nominated for such an award is considered a grand feather in a firm’s cap.
