Established in 1996 during the Web’s infancy, The Webbys ispresented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, which is comprised of over 3000+ leading Internet experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries and entertainers.
Winners
In each of the 100+ categories, there are two chances to win a Webby Award. The Academy vote will choose a Winner in each categorybased on judges’ review and analysis of the Nominees. These entries will receive a Webby Award. Additionally, the online community, through a public vote, will choosea Winnerin each category. These entries receive a Webby People’s Voice Award.
Nominees
The Academy will select the five (5) best entries in each category based on review and analysis using specific judging criteria. After being audited by our vote tabulation consultants,these five selections arethen recognized as Webby Nominees.
Honorees
As a result of the highquantity and quality of entrants, The Webby Awards honors additional outstanding entries alongside our Nominees and Winners as Official Honorees.Being selected as an Official Honoreemeans an entry has been selected as one of the best on the Internet as part of the Webby judging process. Less than 20% of entries in the Webby Awards are deemed Official Honorees.With thousands of entries in the Webby Awards each year, being selected as an Official Honoreeis a notable achievement. There may be multiple entries (or no entries) in each category designated as an Official Honoree.
