2007 Webby Awards - Your Gamasutra Needs You!

- So, those with keen memories may recall that Gamasutra won the 2006 'Game-Related' Webby Award, which meant I had to go to New York and try not to humiliate myself in front of Rob Corddry and an assembled audience of cognoscenti - which I successfully did! Nice to be honored in the 'Oscars Of The Internet', too.

Well, Gamasutra entered again this year, and we are again a Webby Award finalist for 2007, yay. As we note: "Other nominees in the 'Games-Related' category this year are CNET Networks' GameSpot and AOL's GameDaily, as well as the official websites for LucasArts' LEGO Star Wars II and Thrillville."

What's more: The Webby Awards are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization with over 500 members including internet 'founding father' Vinton Cerf, R/GA's Chief Bob Greenberg, Simpsons creator Matt Groening, The Huffington Post's Arianna Huffington, and film producer Harvey Weinstein. Winners will be announced on May 1st and honored at The 11th Annual Webby Awards on June 5 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The gala event will once again hosted by former Daily Show correspondent Rob Corddry, and will showcase award winners delivering their famous five-word acceptance speeches."

But here's the important bit, and it's so important that I'm going to bold it: "In addition to the main Webby Awards, which are determined by the The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, there is also the People's Voice Awards, in which interested readers can vote for Gamasutra in an all audience-determined category, presented alongside the main award." So quick, go tell your friends and make your voice heard in the wilderness of wild untamed website fun.
