From the judges: “The Best Use of the Web winner is chosen among the winners in each of the other categories. Sites are not entered into the Best Use of the Web competition directly. The winner will demonstrate a mastery of photographic and visual storytelling in an online environment. Content, interface design, navigation, and interactivity will all be evaluated to find the site that best furthers the evolution of web-based visual journalism.”
