2010 Web Awards Nominations list is out

The super-giant-huge-bitTooManySitesReally Web Awards nominations list is now out.

This is a list of all websites, apps and campaigns nominated for the Web Awards. We removed spam, bad nominations and websites that didn’t suit the category they were nominated in. This year we had about 700 unique websites nominated by over 600 people and a few 1000 sites in total nominated. Lots of mobile apps nominated too.

What next?
Judging will begin very soon. Every website gets judged, from these lists we create short lists and then finally after another judging round we create finalist lists. A big process where all sites get a fair go at being judged. We still need a few judges if you want to put your name in the hat.

Lots of sponsorship opportunities too.

With thanks to Justin Parks, you can use nominated badges if you want on your website:
