Best Visual Design
Judges want to websites that make an impact and communicate a visual experience, where the design is high quality and stands apart from the competition.
Great visual design means it should be clear where users go for certain types of information Judges will expect to see design consistency throughout the website and across different devices. This year (2022) judges’ criteria include websites’ relationship to branding.
The submitted website must have been created (or updated) in the last 12 months.
