Methodology

Banks and sites were first invited to take part in the third annual internet awards in July 2002. Euromoney approached those firms that had taken part before plus those that had expressed an interest in taking part over the past year and those that Euromoney journalists felt would like to be involved. Any bank or site was welcome to submit sites for consideration but we did ask potential participants to read the awards articles from previous years and consider whether their sites had a good chance of winning before they put themselves forward. Participants confirmed the sites they were submitting by mid-August.
