Hailed as the “Oscars of the Internet” by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honouring excellence on the Internet, including Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video, and Mobile Websites. The awards are judged by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization that includes David Bowie, Harvey Weinstein, Arianna Huffington, Matt Groening, Jamie Oliver, Internet inventor Vinton Cerf, and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser.
“The Webby Awards honours the outstanding work that is setting the standards for the Internet,” said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. “Manchester United’s nominee selection is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators.”
