I’ve been chosen to sit on the judges panel for the Web Marketing Association’s 2007 WebAwards.

The 2007 WebAwards will name the best Websites in 96 industry categories.

The WebAwards are a high profile set of awards in online circles, and with finanancial services organisations such as Fidelity, Merrill Lynch and Charles Schwab winning several awards in 2006, not to mention agencies such as Leo Burnett, Wunderman and Tribal DDB - it shows that the big guns take such awards seriously.

Further, it will be interesting to understand the criteria used in judging the websites and how this compares with our industry based efforts to ‘judge’ websites that I have either seen or been involved with.
