Do I need an account to submit?

Yes. Creating an account connects the nomination to your profile, keeps the draft saved on your device, and lets us send you a secure resume link if you leave before submitting.

What assets should I prepare?

Have a cover image, up to five highlight screenshots, a short description, and links to your live site and socials.

How long does judging take?

Timing depends on the submission path. Rushed judging is completed within 48 hours, while standard nominations receive email updates as they move through review and publication. Free submissions join the community queue as editorial capacity allows.

Can I edit my nomination after submitting?

You can update details before payment. For changes afterward, email hello@webdesignawards.io within 24 hours and our team will help.

Can one project fit multiple categories?

Yes. Pick every category that matches your work so judges evaluate it across the right disciplines.

How do I submit a website for a Web Design Award?

To submit your website, create an account on Web Design Awards, fill in your site details including URL, category, and description, then select a submission tier. Your site will be reviewed by our expert judging panel.

What types of websites can be submitted for a web design award?

Any professional website can be submitted across categories including SaaS, ecommerce, healthcare, fashion, technology, branding, agency portfolios, and more. Both new and established websites are eligible.

How long does the judging process take?

The judging process typically takes 2-4 weeks from submission. You will be notified of the outcome via email once judging is complete.

What are the benefits of winning a Web Design Award?

Winners receive a verified award badge for their website, global recognition and exposure, a listing in the winners directory, and increased credibility with clients and employers. Agency winners gain premium placement in our agency rankings.
