Chattanooga creative Web development agency Whiteboard has been nominated for Developer of the Year for 2013.

“When I get up and head to the office each morning, the last thing on my mind is being nominated for an award,” CEO Taylor Jones said in a prepared statement. “I was blown away by the recognition, and it provided our team a moment to stop and celebrate this past year. I can’t express how humbling it is, and I’m truly grateful for our development team at Whiteboard. These guys deserve every bit of credit coming their way.” The international award, presented by AWWWARDS in special collaboration with Internet Explorer, ”set out to recognize the work of Web developers-the true tinkerers, builders and architects of the Internet … [and] celebrate those who build quality code, interoperable across modern browsers and devices,” according to the AWWWARDS website.

In 2013, Whiteboard worked with nationally recognized organizations WinShape Camps, Chick-fil-A Leader Academy and Passion Conferences, along with Chattanooga-based company Southtree and investment firm Chattanooga Renaissance Fund, according to a news release.

The winner of the award will be announced next week.

Whiteboard is one of 18 agencies nominated and one of seven nominees located in the U.S.

The other nominated agencies are located in the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Germany, according to a news release.
