The Fourth Annual OSC Awards were founded in 2007 by Kerry Watson, an ecommerce industry expert and author of many books on programs in the OSC family.

The main purpose of the awards is to encourage industry excellence with a periodic review of programs and recent innovations of the past year.

The other purpose of the awards is to give a unified voice to the many users of these programs. What do real users LIKE? What do people WANT? What do they expect? What do they want to see more of?

The information gathered during the poll is valuable to all and may be distributed to the many teams who have entered or who have had their users enter.

Winners are permitted to display the award banner on their website for one full year, until the next annual awards.
