West Simsbury, CT (PRWEB) April 13, 2008 -- The Web Marketing Association announces the call for entries for its 12th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at Web Award Web site (www.webaward08.org). The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including manufacturing web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for manufacturing web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2008.
"The manufacturing 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. "Many manufacturing companies are B2B. Because of this, many use their web sites to concentrate on their distributor needs. According to past scores, manufacturing sites can go even further by integrating technology and innovation in their sites to actively engage their visitors through product demos or video descriptions."
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 manufacturing category will also receive:
? Image plaque 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 Manufacturing Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges. Recent winners of the Best Manufacturing Web site include:
2007 - Eaton Corporation for 2006 Annual Report / Sustainability Report
2006 - My1stop for My1stop Printing
2005 - Sub-Zero for Sub-Zero PRO 48 Refrigerator
2004 - BRP and Nurun Inc. for BRP Corporate/Brand Web Ecosystem

2002 - Engine Interactive for Precor
A complete list of past winners and the entry form for companies who wish to compete for 2008 honors can be found at the Best Manufacturing Web site page (http://manufacturing.webaward.org/).
Using the quantifiable data collected from more than 15,000 Web site evaluations over the past decade, the WebAwards has defined and recognized industry-specific benchmarks for successful Web sites in each of the seven judging criteria and released an Internet Standards Assessment Report to detail the findings of the study. A copy of the 2009 Internet Standards Assessment Report, including details regarding the manufacturing industry, will be provided to all participants.
Judging for the 2008 WebAwards will take place in June through August and winners will be announced in September. Judges will consist of a select group of Internet professionals who have direct experience designing and managing Web sites,-including members of the media, interactive creative directors, site designers, content providers and webmasters - with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in Web site development and technology. Past judges have included top executives from leading organizations such as A&E Television Networks, Agency.com, Blattner Brunner, Bridge Worldwide, The Cincinnati Enquirer, Comedy Central, Disney, Euro RSCG, Ion Global, J.
