The global US-based Interactive Media Awards recognize the highest standards of excellence and outstanding achievement in website design and development.
They are run by the non-profit US-based Interactive Media Council (IMC) comprising leading web designers, developers, programmers, advertisers and other professionals. IMC is the governing body of the Awards, establishes the judging system and provides the judges.
The Best in Class Award is the highest honour. It represents the very best in planning, execution and overall professionalism. To win, a site has to successfully pass through a comprehensive judging process, scored to a maximum of 500 points based on design, content, feature functionality, usability, and standards compliance and cross-browser compatibility. Only a fraction of sites submitted in the IMA competition each year qualify for final judging.”
