Nomination process
In the first phase of the nomination process, web designers submit their work through Awwwards' website for consideration for Site of the Day.[11] The work is then judged by the Awwwards community and an international jury panel composed of noteworthy designers, developers, and agencies.[12] The best daily sites are also published in Awwward's year-end "The 365 Best Websites Around the World" book.[1]
In the second voting phase, each month's six highest-scoring sites are nominated for Site of the Month and are reviewed by the jury for a second time. The site that receives the most votes is named Site of the Month.
Site of the Month winners proceed to the final judging phase of the competition: Site of the Year. This award is given out at the Awwwards conference and prize-giving ceremony.
Jury
The jury consists of multidisciplinary designers, developers, journalists, and agencies from across the globe.[13] The expert panel assesses the talent, effort, technicality, and insight that goes into the web projects submitted for consideration.[1]
Notable jury members include Dave Methvin, president of the jQuery foundation;[14] Julian Shapiro, creator of Velocity.js and Libscore;[15] Paul Irish, developer advocate for Google Chrome;[16] Davy Rudolph, interactive art director at Apple;[17] Dan Cederholm, co-founder of Dribbble;[18] Iris Lješnjanin, senior editor at Smashing Magazine;[19] and Tobias van Schneider, creative director of Spotify.[20]
Awards granted
Awwwards grants two types of awards: The designer's award and the developer's award.
Designer's award
The design award is Awwward's longest-standing award. It recognizes aesthetic, usability, and technical achievements in web design innovation. Submissions are judged on four criteria: design, usability, creativity, and content.
Developer's award
The developer's award was created in partnership with Microsoft, and it aims to award developers who've achieved significant web development programming mastery. "Well-developed" websites are those that are interoperable across all major browsers and operating systems, are accessible across a variety of computing devices, and employ HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS coding best-practices.[21] Developer Award winners are invited to be profiled on Internet Explorer’s Showcase, a behind-the-scenes look at what inspired the site and how it was developed.[22]
