Nominations Open for Best Fashion Web Sites

Boston-based Web Marketing Association is accepting entries until May 31 for its 10th annual WebAwards, which recognize the best Web sites in 96 categories, including retailing and fashion.

The fashion category was added last year when Tommy Kids won the first award. Winners in the retail category included Gap Inc. and Guess? Inc.

Web sites are judged on various criteria, including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copywriting and functionality, and receive feedback from judges whether they win or not.

Judging will take place from June through August and winners will be announced in September. Judges will consist of several Internet marketing professionals. Past judges have included executives from global advertising agencies Saatchi & Saatchi and Ogilvy Interactive and the Cincinnati Enquirer, a daily newspaper.
