About the Web Health AwardsSM

Now entering its 14th year, the goal of the Web Health Awards is to recognize high-quality digital health resources for consumers and health professionals. The awards program is organized by the Health Information Resource Center[sm] (HIRC), an 19-year old clearinghouse for professionals who work in consumer health fields.

The Web Health Awards, and the new Web Health Awards | MOBILE are extensions of the HIRC’s 19-year old National Health Information Awards[sm], the largest program of its kind in the United States.

Because of the dynamic nature of digital health resources, the Web Health Awards competition is held twice each year: Winter/Spring and Summer/Fall.

Monday, February 27, 2012
Entry Fee: $58 (USD)
Late entries will be accepted between 2/28/2012 and 3/9/2012. The late entry fee will be $78.

Judging
Gold, Silver, Bronze and Merit certificates are awarded by Division and Category. Using a rating scale of 1 to 100 points, a panel of health technology professionals will judge entries based on content, format, success in reaching the targeted health audience and overall quality. Judges will review entries during the same time frame — generally a 3-4 week window — once the entry deadline is closed. All judges’ decisions are final.

All winners in the Winter/Spring 2012 Web Health Awards receive international recognition on webhealthawards.com, a colorful award certificate, a listing of all winners, national publicity from the HIRC, and a one-year license to use the awards program logo for marketing and promotional purposes.
