About the .eu Web Awards
The .eu Web Awards is an annual online competition launched in 2014 by the European Registry for Internet Domains (EURid) to acknowledge the top .eu websites in various categories. The competition represents a great opportunity for the .eu domain name holders to showcase their websites. Every year, websites can be nominated for a chance to win an award, which is officially presented at the annual Web Awards ceremony. Once the nomination/voting period ends, three websites per category are shortlisted based on the number of votes they receive. The three finalists from each category are then introduced on the EURid and the .eu web awards websites and evaluated by a jury. Finalists with the highest scores from the jury are selected as winners.
