Who Will Win a Webby?
- Share via
The world’s top Web sites are competing for the industry’s top honor. Here are the nominees and how you can play a role in who wins.
We are steadfast in our opposition to self-promoting awards--unless, of course, we happen to win one. Even so, we kind of like the Webbies, a nerdy equivalent of the Academy Awards for Web sites.
The International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences last week announced its nominees for best site in 27 categories. The awards won’t be handed out until July 18. It must take that long to visit all the 100-plus sites.
In the meantime, you can noodle around the nominated sites and decide for yourself what rates. Then cast your ballot at https://www.webbies.com. Virtually all are free. The addresses of nominated sites are printed below.
