Sponsor(s) dependent we’ll be doing an event early November in Dublin.
Category Archives: Web Awards
Realex Payments Web Awards 2016
Nominations closed for the 2016 Web Awards a long time ago now.
The hashtag for this event is #RealexWebs16
The Web Awards ceremony will be in Dublin on September 28th in Liberty Hall Theatre. Early bird tickets are €35 with full price tickets being €50 from September 12th, last minute tickets being €70 from the 26th and tickets on the door being €100. Buy your tickets here for the event. Full price after September 12th.
Sponsors don’t win prizes at our awards and sponsors have no say at all in who wins, we are not out to make as much money from nominees or sponsors, getting sites fairly judged without influence is one of our core aims, the other being to highlight the great work of website owners and creators.
We also have a sister event, the eCommerce Awards and nominations for that are now open.

Category changes 2014
Student Web Project
There were not enough quality entries in to this category so we will not being moving this category forward into the rest of the competition. We will also not have this category in 2015.
eCommerce and SME Categories
Both SME Micro and eCommerce Micro were over-subscribed. Last year we had one SME category, this year we had three. Last year we had one eCommerce category, this year we had four. We’ve now split SME Micro into two so have added SME Small as a category. We have split eCommerce Micro into two and have a few eCommerce Small category too. That’s 10 business categories now.
Quarter Finals 2014 – Agency
We now need to compare the sites you submitted against who made the quarter finals. We’ll update this in a few days. We wouldn’t recommend contacting us demanding to know the date.
