Web Awards - The Golden Web Awards

THE GOLDEN WEB AWARDS

The Golden Web Awards were prestigious within the Web design community, as they were based on peer recognition. Presented by the International Association of Web Masters and Designers (IAWMD), the Golden Web Awards recognized intelligent and innovative Web design practices from the Web master's viewpoint. The IAWMD, in addition to the Awards, provided a forum for members and students to exchange information and ideas related to Web design and maintenance, aiming to promote awareness of and education about Web practices via international networking and recognition.

Unlike the Webby Awards, which are marked with an elaborate ceremony, the Golden Web Awards are presented throughout the year. Web sites are submitted for awards by designers and users to the IAWMD, members of which evaluate the nominations on the basis of design, originality, and content. In addition, the IAWMD sponsors the Junior Web Awards specifically for students aged 13 to 17 to hone their skills by competing with other students worldwide for recognition.
