Realex Fire Web Awards – Quarter Finals – Details

700 websites were judged at least 5 times to get us to the Quarter Finals.

These are just the Quarter Finals. After this, all sites that got this far get to be judged again. From this the Semi-Finalist list is created, then the Finalist list.

Tickets won’t go on sale until closer to the semi finals as we don’t want people (this happens each year) buying tickets and then wanting a refund when their work doesn’t reach the final.

We’d like to thank our army of Judges this year for the amazing work they did, they’re awesome. And now they roll on to Round 2!

If you want a badge for your website you can use this:
Quarter Finalist 2013

If you didn’t make it to the Quarter Finals you can use this badge if you want:
2013 Web Awards Nominated

Agency/Developer of the year goes straight to Semi Finals.

There are plenty of categories left for sponsorship. Do consider sponsoring, it’s great for your company and great to support this event.

If there are issues with typos in a listing or something like that 2013@webawards.ie can be contacted. We won’t respond to complaint emails. Scorecards will be out soon including comments from judges. (We may need to “clean” some comments)
