The Webby Awards has kicked off its 14th annual call for entries at www.webbyawards.com. Restaurant industry Web sites can also enter in interactive advertising, mobile and video categories. The early deadline to enter work is Oct. 30. Nominees will be announced in April 2010, and winners will be honored at a gala ceremony on June 14, 2010, where they'll be asked to deliver one of the now-famous five-word speeches.

In 2009, Parish Food and Goods won The Webby Award for Best Restaurant Site, which was chosen by the judging academy, and Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill won The Webby People's Voice Award, which was chosen by the public. Parish Food and Goods' five-word speech was "Here to design you taste." Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill's five-word speech was "Thanks for pulling our pork."

"The Webby Awards gives winners an exciting a chance to have their work celebrated on a global stage," David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards, said in a press release. "The Internet is becoming an even more integral part of the restaurant industry, and we are thrilled to honor the innovators that are leading the way."
