There’s a new award in town. Literally. Thanks to the Portland-creative triumvirate of WebVisions, Pop Art and 52 Ltd announcing the Webvisionary Awards, a new award designed to highlight exceptional work online. Winners are to be announced on the first night of the WebVisions 2008 conference.
The first annual Webvisionary Awards is accepting submissions of outstanding work in a range of categories, from mashups and pimped out personal pages to advertising and mobile. Entries must be submitted by April 30th and there will be a fee of $15 per submission.
The categories are extremely broad, so it will be interesting to see where this goes.
- Advertising
- Interactive Campaign
- Business
- Viral
- Experimental
- Community
- Blog
- Mobile
- Technical Achievement
- Web Application
- Mashup
- Games
- Video/Motion
- Educational / Resource
- Pimped Out Personal Page
- Student
- Best of Show
And while I’m not much of one for the flash mob mentality, I, for one, think it would be really nice to see some of the cool Portland companies around here get some of the recognition they deserve. Especially given the crowd that WebVisions tends to draw to town.
