- Judging rubric · public · 5 criteria · scored 0–10

What the jury actually scores.

Criteria and weights are public, and every scored entry's breakdown is published on its nominee page - so you can trace exactly where a score came from.

- 0130%

Design & Craft

The visual system and the finish on it: typography, colour, composition, imagery and motion, down to details most visitors never consciously notice.

- 0225%

Experience

Whether a first-time visitor understands what the site is and can do the main thing - judged on a phone first, then on a desktop.

- 0320%

Originality

An idea, interaction or way of telling the story that you haven't seen before - and that serves the visitor rather than getting in their way.

- 0410%

Content

Copy and media that make the case quickly and reward a closer read. Words count as much as pixels.

- 0515%

Technical

Measured, not judged: Google Lighthouse tests the site as a mid-range phone on a mobile connection, and the score is 60% its performance score and 40% its accessibility score.

Today

Automated measurement

Google PageSpeed Insights tests the live site as a mid-range phone. Its performance and accessibility results become the Technical score, and its loading and stability readings feed the winning floor.

When your entry goes live

Scored against the rubric

A judge reviews the live site on a phone and a desktop and scores each judged criterion from 0 to 10; Technical comes from the Lighthouse measurement. The rubric weights turn those into one score out of 10.

- Frequent questions

Things people always ask.

What does Premium add over the free path?

The same jury scores every path against the same rubric. Premium buys time and eligibility: a decision within 30 days instead of the community queue's roughly year-long wait, a permanent nominee page on our DA 58 domain that goes live as soon as you pay, a place on the homepage as it goes into judging, a nominee badge for your site from the day you pay, visitor and click-through stats for your page on your dashboard, Site of the Month eligibility, and social and editorial promotion. If we can't judge your submission, you get a full refund.

Do I need an account to submit?

No - there's no password to set up. Add your email in the form and submit; we connect the nomination to that address and email you a one-click sign-in link to follow it. Drafts save on your device as you type, and once you've added your email we can send a resume link if you leave before submitting. Already have an account? Sign in first and the entry is added to it.

What do I need to submit?

Your live URL, a site title, a two or three sentence description, and your email. Autofill can pull the title, description, and a cover image from your site's metadata. A cover image (1600px+ wide looks best), up to five highlight screenshots, categories, tools, and social links are optional - without a cover, we use your site's preview image.

How long does judging take?

It depends on the path. Premium entries get a decision within 30 days, typically 2-4 weeks, with email updates along the way. Rushed entries get a verdict within 48 hours. Free entries join the community queue and are reviewed as jury capacity allows - currently about a year out, and publication isn't guaranteed.

What do winners get?

A winner badge for your site, a permanent, Google-indexed nominee page showing the award and your full scorecard, and a place in the winners archive. If an agency is credited, the win counts toward its place in our agency rankings. Every winner can download a PDF award certificate too, and only Premium entries are eligible for Site of the Month.

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 up to five categories that match your work so it's listed in the right places.
