Regional publishers are being invited to put their best ‘web’ efforts forward for the Newspaper Society’s Digital Media Awards.

Nine awards are set to be handed out at this year’s event, which will recognise the best digital media initiatives from the industry, and will include prizes for the best daily and weekly newspaper Internet sites.

There will also be titles up for grabs for best web design, best online community service, best promotion of an online service, best niche Internet site (commercial and community), and best digital media development, as well as a new category for best use of mobile communications.

Among the points judges will be looking for will be ease of navigation, a clear design and layout, quality editorial and a firm commitment to running the service and offering value to advertisers and readers.

The closing date for entries is July 23.

Winners will be announced later in the year at a joint ceremony which will also see awards handed out for excellence in advertising and marketing.
