The Good Web Guide is now taking entries for its second Website of the Year Award, aimed at small businesses and organisations. The awards provide an excellent way for online enterprises to gain recognition.

I’m delighted to have been asked to be one of the judges for the competition this year – having had Tepilo shortlisted for the award last year.

Winner will receive the following prizes – along with the most important kudos of winning the award itself:

• £1000 cash to spend on the business and £500 of advertising on thegoodwebguide.co.uk to be taken before August 2011.
• A one-day photo shoot with Tim James from The Gray Gallery (£1,500).
• A full SEO audit and follow up consultation with SEOptimise (£750).
• Two hours free singing for 8 people at any Lucky Voice venue (£180).
• A press release prepared by Kenyon Communications on the subject of their choosing, with full media distribution, worth £500.
