About the Nominations
Unfortunately we can’t list every single nomination in each category — that’s too overwhelming for everyone.
Instead our intrepid team of judges combed through hundreds of nominated sites to whittle them down to a manageable number of shortlisted nominations for each category.
Apologies in advance if your site or nominated sites don’t make it.
