State of Hawaii honored for its work on the
official website, Hawaii.gov
The State of Hawaii was recently awarded with two top honors for
the official website of the Aloha State, Hawaii.gov. The awards
were given in unique competitions, both recognizing the website for
its innovative Web development.
The W3 Awards announced their annual award winners with
Hawaii.gov taking home the Gold in the government category. This
marks the second award to be received by the W3. In 2013,
Hawaii.gov was the recipient of the Silver award in the same
category.
Linda Day, director of the Academy of Interactive and Visual
Arts (IAVA), stated: “We were amazed at the caliber and quality of
work we received this year from the smallest agencies to the
biggest firms worldwide. As the Web continues to expand in new and
exciting ways, our winners continue to truly push the envelope of
Internet creativity and Web design.” The W3 Awards is sanctioned
and judged by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an
invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a
"Who's Who" of acclaimed media, advertising, and marketing
firms.
Concurrently, Hawaii.gov was presented with the Government
Standard of Excellence Award by the Web Marketing Association in
their 19th annual WebAward Competition.
Upgrades to the award-winning Hawaii.gov website included:
- Language translation
- Geolocation mapping service allows
visitors to find government offices, EV stations, farmers markets,
and more
- 277 social media pages, 1,400+ twitter
followers, a Flickr photo pool, and 30+ YouTube videos
Hawaii.gov also took a first-of-its kind approach to the
gamification of government with the creation of a new one-stop shop
which allows Hawaii residents to completely customize how they
interact online with the state on any device, anywhere, anytime –
securely and reliably. My.hawaii.gov also directly integrates
nearly 60 of the 100+ online services offered in Hawaii. For

The W3 Gold and Government Standard of Excellence awards bring a
grand total of 17 awards received by Hawaii.gov since its launch in
April 2013.
