The state website consistently recognized for
its award-winning design and unique features
The State of Hawaii was among the selected winners of two unique
competitions for its innovative Web development work on the
official website of the Aloha State, Hawaii.gov.
The National Association of Government Web Professionals (NAGW),
announced its annual Pinnacle Awards winners with Hawaii.gov taking
home the Members’ Choice award in the State/NGO category. This
marks the second award to be received by the NAGW. In 2013,
Hawaii.gov was the recipient of the Pinnacle award in 2013 in the
same category.
Marc Drummond, NAGW board president, made the announcement
Thursday evening at the Crowne Plaza St. Paul Riverfront Hotel.
“The Pinnacle Awards celebrate excellence. Our NAGW members do
tremendous work with limited resources. Our judges are continually
impressed at the level of quality displayed by all of our entries.
We are proud to honor these sites which demonstrate the high
caliber work carried out by government Web professionals throughout
the country.”
Concurrently, the Web Marketing Association was announcing the
winners of its 18th annual WebAward Competition. With more than
1,500 entries from 40 countries, Hawaii.gov was awarded the top
honor of Best Government Website.
Recent upgrades to the award-winning Hawaii.gov website,
include:
- Language translation
- Geolocation mapping service allows
visitors to find government offices, EV stations, farmers markets,
and more.
- 273 social media pages, 1,200+ twitter
followers, a flickr photo pool, and 20 Youtube videos
Hawaii.gov also took a first-of-its kind approach to the
gamification of government, to create a new one-stop shop allowing
Hawai’i residents to completely customize how they interact online
with the state on any device, anywhere, anytime – securely and
reliably. The result, my.hawaii.gov, integrates with seven of the
17 departments and includes a rich, personalized history of all
business conducted online with the state. It also directly
integrates with almost 60 of the 100+ online services offered in
Hawaii. For highlights of the great new features, visit

The Best Government Website and Members’ Choice awards bring a
grand total of 11 awards received in recognition of Hawaii.gov
since its initial release in April 2013.
