The 2016 Webby Awards Is Accepting Submissions Through December 18

In the spring of 2016, The Webby Awards will celebrate its 20th year of honoring the best of the best brands, innovators, designs, and individuals on the internet. And for the next few days, the show is looking for entries for its upcoming event. The annual Webby Awards, which bestows what the New York Times calls “the internet’s highest honor,” is accepting submissions for award consideration through December 18, 2015.

The Webby Awards accepts submissions across a range of categories under five different genres, which include websites, advertising and media, mobile sites and apps, social, and online film and video. Because the world of online video is constantly growing, the 2016 awards show will now boast five new categories under the online film and video genre. This year, creators can submit entries for art and experimental films, music videos, fashion and beauty videos, cinematic virtual reality projects, or interactive and gaming virtual reality works.

Last year’s Webby Awards honored some of the internet’s top talent and creators from among a large selection of nominees. The 19th annual event selected awarded Funny or Die with the Best Humor Website honor, while Grumpy Cat went home with the Best Animal Social Award. The Webby People’s Voice Awards were selected by over 500,000 internet users, who honored creators like Ellen DeGeneres, Michelle Phan, and the Fine Bros. for their contributions to the world of digital media and online video.
