Awwwards

Awwwards (Awwwards Online SL) is an institution that organizes a competition for designing and developing websites. In that regard, any web developer or owner of a website can take part in this contest by submitting his/her website to Awwwards. This process leads to some being chosen for presentation on a daily rotational basis. In the annual conference of the company, amazing submissions are awarded so as to appreciate them, where they are presented their prizes in different cities of America as well as Europe.

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. The work is then judged by the Awwwards community and an international jury panel composed of designers, developers, and agencies. The best daily sites are also published in Awwward's year-end "The 365 Best Websites Around the World" book.

Jury
The jury consists of an international panel of designers, developers, journalists, and agencies. The panel assesses the talent, effort, technicality, and insight that goes into the web projects submitted for consideration.

Developer Award
The developer's award was created in partnership with Microsoft, and it awards developers who have 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. 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.

Notable winners
Notable Site of the Year winners include Mercedes-Benz, Bloomberg L.P., Bose Corporation, Warner Brothers, Volkswagen, Uber, and Google.
