Boston, MA, August 14, 2023 — The Web Marketing Association is pleased to announce the call for entries for its 12th annual international MobileWebAward competition. It recognizes the individual and team achievements of Web professionals all over the world who create and maintain outstanding mobile Websites and mobile applications. The deadline for entry in the 2023 MobileWebAwards is September 29, 2022. The entry form for this award program can be found at http://www.mobile-webaward.org.
“In an age where the smartphone is a constant companion, mobile marketing is the bridge that connects businesses with consumers in real time,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “The MobileWebAwards recognize and honor those who are at the forefront of this dynamic landscape, crafting experiences that are both intuitive and innovative. Winning this award is more than an accolade; it’s an endorsement of your brand’s relevance in a mobile-centric world, enhancing credibility and creating unparalleled marketing opportunities.”
The MobileWebAwards were judged on seven criteria seen as requirements for a success mobile website or mobile app. They include Creativity, Impact, Design, Content, Interactivity, Ease of use and Use of the medium.
