WAN-IFRA, the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers, has just announced the winners of the first Asian Digital Media Awards during the second edition of the Digital Media Asia conference in Singapore. More than 50 media companies from 13 countries across Asia participated in this new competition. The winners in the “Best in Online Media – Classifieds” category were:
(Gold): iProperty.com from Malaysia: http://www.iproperty.com.my/
(Silver): Free classified site Khojle from India: http://www.khojle.in/
(Bronce): Jobcentral from Singapore: http://jobscentral.com.sg/
Unfortunately there is no further information yet given on why the jury favoured one website over the other. The very general winning criteria were: “This category honours classifieds websites that show outstanding quality of design and navigation and provide a unique end-user experience.”
We would have loved to learn more about the background of the decision. If you know the sites and how they are doing, please post your comments! Here’s the list of all the winners.
