Outstanding Contribution to the Online Marine Industry
Open to any individual who has made a significant contribution to the development of the Internet within the marine industry.
Any marine company is eligible to enter under one of the 5 categories.
DEADLINE FOR THIS YEAR’S NOMINATIONS IS DECEMBER 15, 2007
Many marine companies and organizations spend considerable amounts of
time and effort getting their web site up and running, but until these
awards were introduced there has been nothing in place to acknowledge
the extensive effort and substantial budget dedicated to this area. The
Internet has become a hugely successful and effective business tool for
the marine industry and Boats.com, along with the NMMA, believe that
marine companies that excel in this area should be recognized. The
awards aim to do this by seeking out excellence in consumer interfacing,
design and content.
