Awwwards
Submitting a site is a paid jury. Winning is a trophy and a high-quality link. Losing is a line item. Do not confuse this with a launch board.
Awwwards is a design award. You pay to be judged. Sites of the Day get traffic from designers and a lasting badge. Most submissions do not win. That is the product.

Post the interface. Do not post a “we launched” text shot. Recruiters and designers browse; hunters do not live here.
Dribbble is a design-shot community. A launch works when the product is the picture: a new editor, a plugin, a gorgeous dashboard. A paragraph on a beige card is not a shot.
