NEW YORK – Today, the New Media Institute (NMI) announced the call for entries for its 2013 New Media Awards. The competition is open to any individual, corporation (large or small) or government agency who would like their website, mobile application or online video to be recognized as an outstanding example of new media communications.
“Budget and size are not a consideration in judging. We pride ourselves on recognizing achievements ranging from submissions of individuals and small government agencies to larger international corporations,” explained Barbara Eber-Schmid, NMI’s Executive Vice President. “It’s this variety that makes this web awards competition so exciting. Last year’s winners ranged from a small town’s local website to a major television network.”
