The South African E-Commerce Awards was started in 2006 by Jump.co.za with the intention of helping South African online businesses thrive in the E-Commerce industry in South Africa.
Each year these awards aim to recognise and reward those companies and organisations that have demonstrated excellence through the use of the Internet, with specific emphasis on E-Commerce.
This year the public will nominate and vote for their favourite E-Commerce websites. Along with the public's votes, Jump Shopping will be evaluating nominated websites to determine this year's winner. The Awards will run on a 3 Round Voting and Evaluation process to ensure the websites get judged fairly.
