Hailed as the “Oscars of the Internet” by The New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring 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, AKQA Global Creative Director Rei Inamoto, Matt Groening, Jamie Oliver, Internet inventor Vinton Cerf, and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser.
“The Webby Awards honors the outstanding work that is setting the standards for the Internet,” said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. “SolutionSet's Official Honoree selections are a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of their creators.”
“Last year SolutionSet clients took home two Honoree awards, and this year our clients won four,” said SolutionSet CEO Kurt Garbe. “This is just one small illustration of how our company has continued to push the envelope in the interactive space and deliver engaging, quality work to our clients.”

His interests and passions have helped to create a worldwide community who intend to help with education, poverty and the environment.
