How will you choose which Winners can give speeches on stage?
There are four ways to make the Webby stage:
1. Have an awesome idea.Tell us your plans by emailing us at pickme@webbyawards.com by May 2nd.
2. Randomizer. At Webby Official Portrait Day, the Webby Randomizer will select a set of lucky winners to deliver their speech on stage at the show. Only those who attend are eligible. Show up and it could be you!
3. Popularity. The winner who received the most votes in this year’s Webby People’s Voice voting will get on stage. If that’s you, we’ll be in touch.
4. Crowdsourced Speeches. Join fellow Winners on Twitter for Webby 5-Word Speech Crowdsourcing Day on Thursday, May 2nd and ask followers for help with your #Webby5WordSpeech. What you get back could be awesome enough to land you on stage.
Can I still give a 5-Word Speech if I can’t make it to The Webby Awards Show?
Yes! All Webby Winners have the opportunity to upload and share their 5-Word Speech as part of a special moment in The Webby Awards Show. Between Tuesday, April 30th and Thursday, May 11th, we encourage you to record and upload your speech in our Winners Gallery. You can record using a smartphone or camera. Speeches should be vertical.
Learn more about how to record and upload your speech, and where it will live here.
How many people can give a 5-Word Speech?
There is no limit to the amount of people who can record a 5-Word Speech. Just make sure they can all fit in the frame 🙂
Okay, I scored my ticket. What should I wear to the show?

Officially the attire dress code is Creative Cocktail, so put on your best suit, the biggest sleeves you own or loud colors. This is your moment, so dress in a way that makes you proud.
