McFarlane Prize for 2008
The McFarlane Prize recognizes excellence in Australian web design and development in the broadest sense, and is decided by a jury of experts in design, coding, accessibility and usability.
The prize, which was started in 2006 in memory of Australian web and open source pioneer Nigel McFarlane is open to any Australian web developers or development teams, for a site completed between August 1st 2007 and August 31st this year.
Entry is free, and very simple. Just visit:

and fill in the form. You may nominate your own site, or any site that meets the simple criteria listed there.
Last year the award was won by Michael Koukoullis for http://andrewsmustresign.com
Michael was also one of the developers who worked on the LGSA 2008 Cultural Awards website, along with Tim Lucas, and Cameron Adams (who are speaking at the "We Believe in Community" conference in August).
This prize is set apart from other website awards as it rewards the quality of the design and development of websites, giving web developers and companies an incentive to strive to improve the underlying quality of their sites.
Nominations close 31 August 2008.
