BestWeb.lk 2025: 24 Categories + (2 New Categories introduced)

BestWeb.lk now features 24 diverse award categories, covering nearly every industry sector in Sri Lanka. This year, two brand-new categories have been introduced:

• Best Sports Website – for interactive sports platforms, team/league sites, fan communities, 

• Best Agriculture Website – highlighting platforms focused on farming, sustainable agriculture, livestock, emerging farm tech, and rural community resources 

Mr. Goonathilaka emphasized that these additions reflect Sri Lanka’s growing digital diversity and ensure fair recognition aligned to each niche.

How to Rate: The Public Can Play a Key Role

Viewers were encouraged to visit the BestWeb.lk “Rate” page during the rating period. From there you can explore shortlisted websites and give a star-based vote, plus an optional review. Reviews help judges and developers gain actionable feedback

TopWeb.lk: Pathway for Consistent Excellence

In addition to the annual competition, Mr. Goonathilaka introduced TopWeb.lk, a monthly recognition system by LK Domain Registry. It supports continued website quality enhancement beyond just award submissions.

We thank  ITN’s Pinividina for spotlighting the journey toward digital excellence in Sri Lanka. If you represent a website in sports, agriculture—or any category—this is your moment to shine and influence the national conversation!

🌟 A First in Sri Lanka's Web Awards — You Get to Decide!

Mr. Indika Goonetilleke, Head of Operations at LK Domain Registry, explains the purpose and process of this new system in the official launch video:

⭐ How It Works

✅ 1. Rate Your Favorite Websites

• Explore shortlisted websites organized by category.

• Rate each on a scale from 1 to 5, once per site.

• A website must collect at least 400 verified ratings to be eligible for the “Most Popular” title.

• Verified ratings (via OTP) have full weight; guest ratings count less to ensure fairness.

✍️ 2. Leave a Review

• After rating, you can leave a private review (not visible to the public).

• These reviews will be seen by judges and developers to improve site quality.

• Feedback will be compiled and shared with participants for valuable insight.

🏆 3. Qualify for the Most Popular Website Award

• Among all qualified sites, the one with the highest average score will be named the Most Popular Website in its category.

📣 Help Promote Your Favorite Sites

Participants can:

• Display the BestWeb.LK Rating Logo on their websites.

• Promote their website via social media, ads, and other ethical marketing efforts.

• No bots, fake ratings, or duplicate reviews are allowed — integrity is key!
