The NY Website Awards honors exceptional websites and mobile site experiences that demonstrate strong design principles, seamless functionality, and purposeful user interaction. This category celebrates work that elevates digital presence through intuitive navigation, visual clarity, and responsive performance across devices.
As part of our NY Digital Awards program, we welcome entries from web designers, developers, digital agencies, studios, and in-house teams. Whether creating a full-scale corporate platform, a mobile-first interface, or a specialized landing page, this category recognizes excellence in structure, accessibility, and overall digital presentation.
Submit your entry today and showcase how your web and mobile work transforms user experience into lasting digital impact.
The NY Digital Awards prides itself on maintaining affordable entry fees for all participants.
The overall fee structure is designed with simplicity and fairness in mind. Instead of escalating costs per entry, we charge a $30 annual administrative fee for only the first entry of each competition year. This approach covers expenses such as printing, mailing and data organization. By implementing a consistent fee, entrants submitting multiple entries will benefit from a cost-effective structure, making it more economical than a variable fee system.
