Mobile Marketing company Mediaburst today confirms that it has been chosen by Manchester Digital as its text messaging partner for a new Big Chip Award to be voted by SMS – the Tasty Website Award.
It’s been eleven years since the first Big Chip awards were made and they have since gained a reputation for strict judging standards, integrity and impartiality. An important element of this is a clear specification of the judging criteria for each award category so that judges can easily measure and compare the quality of the entries.
Rather than awarding prizes to the “best” website, for example, entries – whether website or some other digital project – are judged on the extent to which they have achieved objectives or made use of a particular feature such as animation or new technology. Last year, there were no “best website” categories of any form.
A consequence was that some entrants who had designed a website that they felt very proud of weren’t sure which category to enter. “Look” they said, “it’s just a great site”. The answer is of course that that’s very much a matter of taste.
So this year sees the launch of the “Tasty Website Award.”
As they went through the record number of entries for the main categories, the judges noted websites that really appealed to them, for whatever reason. Simply a matter of taste. They then selected five and now it’s up to you to decide which one should win the award:
Nominations:
- Code Computerlove crownpaint.co.uk CROWN
- Code Computerlove originalsource.co.uk SOURCE
- LOVE lovecreative.co.uk LOVE
- LOVE dmbootdesign DOCTOR
- Stardotstar hearmanchester.com HEAR
So, get involved. Just visit the five sites selected, choose which one you think is the tastiest. Then simply text the codeword using SMS to 84433 (standard network rates apply). Full details at:

Voting will stay open up to and including Big Chip Evening itself on 18th June when the winner will be announced.
