"The fashion industry is very competitive when it comes to Web development and companies can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts," said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. "The fashion industry knows was it takes to create an image for its products. Their Web sites are extensions of those images and invite the users to learn more about the brands which they identify with."
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 fashion category will also receive:
- Handsome statue 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 Fashion Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges.
Recent winners of the Best Fashion Website include:
- 2010 Blast Radius for Jumpman 23
- 2009 Organic, Inc. for EsteeLauder.com
- 2008 Dolce&Gabbana srl for Dolce&Gabbana Web site
- 2007 ID Society for Nautica Jeans Company

A complete list of past winners and the entry form for companies who wish to compete for 2010 honors can be found at the Best Fashion Web site page.
There is one significant change in this year's WebAwards. The much coveted Top Agency WebAward is given to the organization who wins the most total WebAwards in a single competition. However each year many agencies win multiple awards and deserve additional recognition. This year, we will recognize each organization that wins 10 or more WebAwards with an Outstanding Interactive Developer trophy.
Participants can improve their chances on winning a WebAward by checking out the Web Marketing Association Facebook Page and becoming a fan of the page. The Web Marketing Association will be providing hints and tips on how to improve your chances on winning a top award throughout April and May.
