Since 1996, The Webby Awards has recognized Internet excellence on an international scale. Earning the title “Best of the Internet” is no small feat; it’s an honor reserved for world-class brands, agencies, production studios, podcasters, game designers, media and tech companies and creators.
And, it’s a title that reaps big rewards. From giving your work with a stamp of approval from Webby Judges to showing the value of your creativity to potential clients, a Webby Award opens up new doors for you.
Don’t just take our word for it. We asked previous winners how a Webby Award has impacted their teams. Here’s what they said:
