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:

Small:

Nominations are now open closed for the 2010 Realex Payments Web Awards. We have a few new categories this year and a few changed ones too.

New categories including:

• Best Mobile App
• Best SME/Small Business Website
• Best Facebook Page
• Best Web Only Publication
• Best Guerilla Social Media Campaign (Zero Budget)

The Technical Categories now have stricter criteria and will have more in-depth judging.

Scorecards:
We promise it every year but fail to deliver it but this year we have more resources so you will get a summary of how your website performed at the Web Awards.
