Questions about WPUK Awards 2014
Users of this site are being asked for their views on the planned WPUK Awards 2014.
Details of the awards are listed on WordCamp Bournemouth UK 2014 content ideas, copied below:
It is proposed to instigate annual awards for UK originated WordPress related activities involving nominations and voting by the WPUK Discuss community before the conference. The results of the voting will be announced and the awards will be made during conference. Categories for awards could include the following, all of which must be built on or for WordPress and originate in the UK:
- Best overall website
- Best website content
- Best web application
- Best plugin
- Most creative use of WordPress
Details are fluid at the moment, but the idea is to involve registered users of this site as integral to the process, with the awards being announced during the last session at Bournemouth.
Part of that process is gathering views on the details of how this can work.
Therefore, it would be great to get comments on the plan before midday on Sunday 18 May 2014.
Here’s some questions to consider:
- Are the award categories appropriate?
- Should nominations be able to be made by those who have built the site, plugin etc?
- Can nominations be made by agencies and companies?
- Will nominations require more than one supporter?
- What do we mean by UK originated in this context?
- Is there a good definition of a web application in the WordPress world?
Anyway, there’s a few questions to start the discussion – looking forward to your feedback!
adamw, and 2 others are discussing.

Hi Tony,
Would it be worth having a category to recognise contributions to the community.
To recognise those who contribute a lot that may not be in shiny code?
Not sure how you would judge that though, questions answered on stack overflow? beginners helped? perhaps its a little fluffy.

I quite like this idea – it would be good to recognise ‘contributors’… but I think the criteria would have to be broad… for instance I’m not on Stack Overflow!

@jonnya Yes probably that was a bad example it would have to be broader. I guess if it was more of a poll or vote amongst people given some rough guidelines.

@adamw – the idea is that nominations can be made for each category, then a vote is taken for each of those categories to determine the winner under each heading, all involving WPUK Discuss registered users.
On your suggestion, contributions to the community, we could say something along the lines of non-code or design, but could include website content, assistance on WP help sites, etc.
Let me have a think about this….
