The 2014 eircom Spider Awards shortlist was announced today and this year the competition is stronger than ever across each of the award categories.
The categories at this year’s eircom Spider Awards are designed to acknowledge and promote businesses and communities who are making their mark through technological advancements, innovation and e-commerce. Similar to previous years, the awards will highlight digital achievements across a range of categories including: financial services, tourism, charity, retail, news, education, entertainment, web design, user experience, social media and sports.
This year, in recognition of the evolving digital landscape three new categories were added: Web Analytics and Optimisation, Rich Media and Best Digital Game.
Chairman of the judging panel and marketing director, eircom Business Solutions, Gary Disley commented: “The competition in each category is really strong this year and it will be interesting to see who the winners will be on the night. We are delighted with the response to the awards, particularly from small and medium business owners, many of whom are entering the awards for the first time. This reflects the growing number of Irish businesses who realise the importance and potential of reaching their customer base online and who are seeking out new and innovative ways to do this.
“The very high standard of entries this year made our job on the judging panel more difficult than ever. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who submitted a nomination this year. There is some very creative and interesting work being carried out in the digital space. Best of luck to everyone who has been shortlisted.”
This year’s awards will take place on Thursday, November 20th at The Convention Centre Dublin and will be hosted by well-known personalities Jennifer Maguire and Bernard O’Shea.
