The Australian Web Industry Association (AWIA) is the country’s leading body for digital professionals, founded in 2002 to unite and elevate the web industry across Australia. It represents a broad spectrum of practitioners, from designers and developers to SEO specialists, content strategists, and system administrators, advocating for best practices, ethical standards, and professional growth. AWIA hosts the annual Australian Web Awards, a national showcase of excellence in digital work, judged by respected industry leaders. With a strong presence in both online communities and in-person events, AWIA fosters collaboration, transparency, and innovation, making it a vital hub for anyone shaping Australia’s digital future.

In 2008 one of my websites, Absolutely Australia, while not winning, did get a recognition.
