Call for nomination: DigitalFilipino.com Web Awards 2009

[Janette Toral]

The 3rd DigitalFilipino.com Web Awards aims to advocate the use of Internet and e-Commerce for business development, through the identification, promotion, and highlighting of best e-Commerce practices from various websites in the Philippines.

Websites in over forty categories will be reviewed and judged for their ability to create a noticeable presence on the Internet – their ability to be seen and heard among all the noise and clutter of the Net. Commercial websites will also be reviewed for their ability to conduct e-Commerce in simple yet professional manner.

All entries are nominated by the public, as well as from industry, and will be judged openly by members of the DigitalFilipino.com Club.

It is hoped that through the promotion of outstanding websites and peer review process while judging that other businesses as well as the public get a better understanding of the benefits of the Internet as well as the various ways in which e-Commerce can play a vital part in business development.

Hi Jonel. As this is already the last day of nominations, it will be hard to create a special category. However, I will consider including hobbies/special interest category next year.

Hi Ms. Janette,

As I am contemplating where I can nominate JumpShotsPH.com, I realize that I can't find a category where I could nominate it.

When I share it with friends and colleagues, I usually refer to it as a special interest blog due to it's very specific niche of JumpShot photos and the entries are shared/submitted by the visitors themselves.

I wonder if a "Special Interest" category is worth creating for it. :)
