Who is eligible to enter the EPpy™ Awards?
The EPpy™ Awards welcome all media and media-affiliated Web sites to enter the program, as well as College Newspapers in that specific category only.
How are the EPpy™ Awards judged?
About 40 industry experts and media specialists from the business and academic sectors judge the EPpy™ entries. The judging occurs in a Web application designed specifically for the EPpy™ Awards by Interactive Media Associates, the awards administrator. Categories are judged on criteria such as design, ease of use, comprehensiveness and timeliness, with special attention to each entrant’s value added through the unique attributes of interactivity.
In the “Best Special Feature” category, what is the difference between a News or Event entry and an Enterprise entry?
The Best Special Feature category was split several years ago to acknowledge the difference between features focused on News or an Event (the war in Iraq or the US Open Golf Tournament) with those that are more trend oriented (the looming healthcare crisis or global warming). It was a way to segment one of the EPpy™’s most popular categories, and to judge entries more fairly against like competition.
Can vendors enter the EPpy™ Awards?
Although anyone can make (and pay for) a nomination, the EPpy™ Awards are designed to honor media companies, not vendors such as software providers, ASPs, etc., who serve multiple media outlets.
How many companies enter the EPpy™ Awards?
