Hi, Eric! Now I'm sitting on my SQL lesson. And I want to say that this web-site is good made.

Hi Nawfel, that's really

Hi Nawfel, that's really odd. Do this. Click "Awards" in the navbar above, between People and Jobs. Then, under the big blue graphic, you should see 4 buttons: Learn, Nominate, Vote, The Winners.

Click on Nominate.

Hi Amy, The mobile category

Eric Hill812251 — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:49:13 -0700

Hi Amy,

The mobile category was indeed pulled. It was erroneously in the form and should not have been included. If there is a large enough demand, we may add it next year. For the 2008 TIS 100, however, there is no mobile category.

Hi David, the nomination

Hi David, the nomination form is here:

From the Awards page, it is the "Nomination" button, too (under the big blue promotional graphic).

You'll want to come back here later, by clicking "Awards" in the nav-bar to vote on nominations in August, too.

I originally noticed mobile

Amy — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:40:38 -0700

I originally noticed mobile in the pull down menu for award categories but now it is missing. I was going to nominate a client in the mobile space but now am not sure if this category has been pulled. Can somebody explain to me by Friday's deadline? Thanks so much.

I don't see the nomination

Lacey — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 07:48:51 -0700

I don't see the nomination form either. Can you please direct me to it? Thanks.

Where is the nomination

David Kutcher — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 19:07:45 -0700

Where is the nomination form? Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't find a link anywhere...

Hi, I began the nomination

Jena — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:01:25 -0700

Hi,

I began the nomination process for an Internet company that fits under the retail category listed above, but I found that mobile is listed in the nomination form, not retail.

Can you please clarify which of the two will among the 10 categories for The Industry Standard Innovation 100 Awards?

Thank you,
Jena

Announcing The Industry Standard Innovation 100 Awards

Overview
The Industry Standard Innovation 100 Awards -- or the TIS 100 for short -- is a community-driven awards program that showcases the top 100 Internet innovators across 10 categories. There is a multistage process to determine the TIS 100 and the winners for each of the ten categories. Readers, users, and company founders and executives can nominate and vote on the most innovative sites, services, and companies on the Web.

Categories

Audio & Video (audio, music, movies, video, related tools)
Commerce (banking, b2b, real estate, travel. Retail is a separate category)
Community/Social (social networks, online communities)
Games/Entertainment (online games, or sites focused on gaming and having fun)
Graphics (2D and 3D graphics-oriented tools and services)
International (services that target markets outside of the U.S.)
Lifestyle (digital photography, publishing and media, fashion, etc.)
Productivity (mapping, office suites, metrics, utilities)
Retail (online shopping, stores, and services)
Widgets ("platform" applications, add-ons, and Web widgets; no desktop widgets)

Nominations (June 18 – July 18)

The nominees must be for applications, software, or sites that use the Web or other Internet services as their platform. Users can submit their favorite sites in the listed categories. Founders and CEOs are also welcome to nominate their own services. There is no limit on the number of nominations per user.

All nominees will be entered into consideration via our nomination form. After all nominations are collected, our team at The Standard will compile the data and select the companies, sites, and services in each category that best represent innovators in each of the 10 categories. Community sentiment will carry a great deal of weight, but Industry Standard staff will approve those that make it to the voting round.

In order to be considered for inclusion in the TIS 100, nominees should meet the following criteria:

Nominees don't have to be wildly trendy or well-known, but must be established websites that offer inspiration and tangible user benefits.
Inspired use of emerging technologies are considered over mere name recognition.
Beta sites and applications can take part, but only if they are public betas -- private betas are disallowed.

Voting (August 4 – October 3)
Once the categories have been filled, voting will be opened to the public. Anyone may vote on the candidates. One vote may be cast per category, thus allowing everyone up to ten votes to be cast per person.

Judging
Winners will be chosen by the community with editorial oversight. Winners will be announced on Monday, Oct 20, 2008.

Other rules
The Industry Standard reserves the right to change the dates and other elements of The Industry Standard Innovation 100 Awards at any time.
