It’s customary to give an acceptance speech when you get an award, but what about when you get nominated for an award? For example, what if one of your online videos was nominated for a Webby Award, the most prestigious award given on the internet? You’d obviously be thrilled, because you share the honour of being nominated with heavyweights including Microsoft, CollegeHumor, NBC and Youtube. You might even want to give a speech about it.
Well, that’s the enviable position we found ourselves in yesterday when the 16th Webby Award nominations were announced. bv02’s work with Arctic Watch Wilderness Lodge was nominated for a Travel & Adventure Webby Award in Online Film and Video. We’ll spare you the speech, but let us just say that we aren’t exaggerating – it really is an honour to be nominated!
The video will be judged against work from Y&R Peru, Jet Set Zero, Inc., Scripps Networks Interactive and James W. Griffiths by members of The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. It will also be judged by the general public, AKA you! The video is available for viewing here, and there’s a People’s Voice Award up for grabs in each category.
To help us secure the People’s Voice Webby, make sure to cast your votes here – we’re currently in 3rd place with 95 votes, but we aren’t far from 1st! Every vote counts at this point, and we appreciate all of your support.
