SAN DIEGO, Jan. 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EngageHealthyroads.com, an online hub of health promotion materials and guidelines for the Healthyroads® Program directed to benefit managers and corporate wellness champions, was awarded a "Grand" iNova award for website excellence in the health care category. The Grand award is the highest honor and was awarded to just six other organizations from around the world.
"This prize endorses all the hard work put into a site's creation and development," said the competition's founder, Reni Witt. "Winning an iNOVA Award is a tribute to the creative team's commitment to technology and innovation." Entries were received from 12 countries including Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Preliminary judging was carried out by international panels of web developers, designers, site builders, and interactive media specialists. The mission of the iNOVA Awards is to recognize and promote achievement in creative web design, originality of content, and functional performance.
