Pentatonix, Grace Helbig, The Young Turks Nominated For 21st Webby Awards

Digital luminaries Pentatonix, Grace Helbig, and The Young Turks were announced today as nominees for the 21st annual Webby Awards — a celebration of the year’s best websites, interactive advertising, and online film and video.

Helbig was nominated in the ‘Best Web Personality/Host’ category for her Not Too Deep talk show alongside Good Mythical Morning, Kid President, and Teaching Shane Dawson How To Make A Musical.ly. Epic Rap Battles Of History was nominated in the ‘Comedy: Individual Or Episode’ category for their Wonder Woman vs. Stevie Wonder music video, while Pentatonix was nominated for their Jolene collaboration with Dolly Parton (below) and The Young Turks were recognized for their election coverage.

Voting is available here through April 20, and winners will be named by the public as well as The International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences (IADAS) — a committee comprised of Jimmy Kimmel, Eva Chen, Questlove, Alexis Ohanian, and more — on April 25. The Webby Awards will also host a celebratory event on May 15 in New York City, where — in keeping with tradition — victors will deliver five-word acceptance speeches.

Given that 2016 was a particularly charged year in politics, many of the nominees emerged from this realm, said Webby Awards executive director David-Michel Davies. “In a year marked by so much discord and divisiveness, The Webby Awards is honored to recognize the work and efforts of our nominees as they explore new ways to use the Internet to inform our world and bring people together,” he said.

The Webby Awards introduced 10 new categories this year having to do with podcasts, as well as one new category recognizing the best in social video. The Internet companies earning the most nominations in 2017 were Google (16), Vice Media (15), Conde Nast (14), and the BBC (14).
