It's the Webbys, Acknowledging Internet Excellence
Presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences for more than a decade, the Webbys are annual awards acknowledging excellence on the Internet.
While much of the focus is on the best advertising, website design, and interfaces rather than applications, some of the categories include socially beneficial things like Activism, Charitable Organizations Non-Profit, and Health.
You can see a Flash-based layout of the winners here or a straight list of entires sortable by category here.
If you're just looking to spend a couple of minutes randomly looking up cool websites, I recommend the first link. Otherwise for more intensive study I strongly prefer the second link as it's much clearer what things are. Sometimes flashier isn't always better when it comes to presenting information.
But regardless of which link you choose, there's definitely some good stuff to be found herein as these links represent some of the best web design out there.
