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, 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. "The Official Honoree selection of BIG and Delfina is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators."
BIG, a non-profit professional association dedicated to championing innovation in digital marketing, is formed of the best brand marketers, publishers and agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area. "Our agency is deeply honored to have played a part in marketing BIG from the web outward," said Robert Balmaseda, partner at SolutionSet. "We are proud to support such a kinetic organization."
Delfina is a bustling neighborhood trattoria in San Francisco's Mission District, owned by Anne and Craig Stoll.
Established in 1996, the 11th Annual Webby Awards received a record 8,000 entries from all 50 states and more than 60 countries worldwide. BIG and Delfina were judged to be in the top 15% of all entries, an honor which earned the Official Honoree distinction.
