2017 Webby Awards Entry Deadline Looms, Closes This Week On December 16

The Webby Awards have been honoring excellence on the internet since way back in 1996, when this Space Jam website was the pinnacle of online creativity and craftsmanship. A lot has changed since, and The Webbys has evolved to show case the best of the Internet, honoring individuals on Instagram and YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, and the tons of creative work done in between. If you’re making great things on the Internet, now’s your time to potentially shine

Enter your best work in the 21st Annual Webby Awards before the Final Entry Deadline on Friday, December 16th at WebbyAwards.com. Entries are accepted across a wide variety of categories residing in the big vertical buckets of Websites, Film & Video, Advertising, Media & PR, Mobile Sites & Apps, Social and—new this year—Podcasts & Digital Audio. So, no matter what you’re working on, The Webbys has a category suited to you.

In addition to giving you and your team the chance to get recognized for your hard work, entering The Webbys is also your chance to join an elite group of past winners—like the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer, NFB Canada, National Corndog Day, and way more.

And yes, you read that right. The Webbys is the only place where National Corndog Day and Netflix can be honored on the same stage. Online, even small-scale developers, artists, activists, and web personalities have a huge impact. That’s the spirit The Webbys emulates: One-off projects and small startups are on equal footing with larger organizations and talented entertainers. The Internet gives us all a voice and a place to share great work, and The Webbys gives everyone a chance to be honored for what they’ve made.

All entered work is reviewed by The International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences (IADAS), a group of Internet luminaries, innovators, and creators, including people like the Kevin Spacey, Jimmy Kimmel, Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Opal Tometi, Vice CEO and Founder Shane Smith, and many more. Plus, to review the new Podcasts & Digital Audio category, The Webbys has brought on a roster of impressive new judges in that realm, including On The Media’s Brooke Gladstone, Gimlet Media CEO and Founder Alex Blumberg, and Radiotopia’s Julie Shapiro.

If you’ve put the energy and effort and you have a project you’re proud of, now is the time to give your work a chance to be recognized. Enter the 21st Annual Webby Awards before the Final Entry Deadline on Friday, December 16, once again at Webbyawards.com.
