The Web Awards are different to many awards because we ask more of our sponsors than other awards. We like them to interact, to come along, to talk up the nominees and if needs be, to scream and holler during the event. As mostly voluntary run, we need all the help we can get and sponsors help with the pushing.
So a big thank you to Realex Payments the headline sponsor and then to the category sponsors too:
