The Construction Writers Association (CWA) recently presented its twelfth annual
Website and Electronic Communications Awards at the organization`s fall
conference in Chicago. Awards were presented in three categories-website,
electronic communications and blogs.
Websites were evaluated by a panel of judges on quality of content, overall
design, use of innovative and accessible technology, navigation, search
functionality, interactivity, and meeting stated objectives. Electronic
communications were judged on the design, graphics, accessibility, meeting
stated objectives, and overall impression. Entries were received from
construction-related individuals, companies, associations, advertising agencies,
public relations firms and publications. "Digital marketing is transforming the
way organizations communicate their message, and the CWA jury saw firsthand how
innovation in electronic communication helps companies to stand out from the
competition," said Michael Reilly, chair of the 2009 awards jury and president
of Boston-based Reilly Communications.
Award winners were:
* Website: GyroHSR; John Deere "Skidsteer Smackdown Season Two"
* Electronic Communications: Portland Cement Association; Concrete Thinking:
Portland Cement Association`s Success Using Twitter
* Blog: Building Design+Construction`s BuildingTeam360 Blog.
The CWA Website and Electronic Communications Awards include marketing-oriented
websites and other digital media, such as e-newsletters, blogs, podcasts, and
streaming video. The competition showcases the best of the best in
construction-related communications and is a prestigious acknowledgment that the
work of these writers, through their various communication efforts, has met a
very high standard of excellence. CWA presents awards at its two major
conferences each year.
