The Online Retail Awards are international, impartial, independent business awards that can be won by online retailers of any size anywhere in the world.

The aim of the Online Retail Awards is to seek out examples of retailers' web, mobile and tablet sites that offer great online shopping experiences for customers and reward them publicly online, in print and through PR.

Be sure to take part in the ORAs. Start thinking about your entries early for 2014. The Awards re-open for entries on January 1, and will be accepted until March 31, each year, though this deadline may be extended, when necessary.
