Recognition level / Focused distinction

SPECIAL MENTION

Special Mentions recognise websites with a particularly strong idea, interaction, technical detail or focused area of execution.

01 / Meaning

WHAT IT RECOGNISES

A Special Mention highlights a notable quality that deserves attention even when the project is not selected for a time-based award. The distinction may reflect focused craft rather than uniform strength across every judging area.

02 / Review

WHAT WE CONSIDER

Review looks for a clear point of distinction, such as an inventive interaction, disciplined technical solution, accessible pattern, performance decision or unusually effective translation of design into code.

03 / Archive
