We’re Nominated for Not One, but TWO Webby Awards!

John Hellweg, Creative Director, PayPal

Music might have the Grammys and moviesWebby_Logo.jpg might have the Oscars, but as much as we might like to live-tweet what the stars are wearing on the red carpet and who’s was the best performance on stage, what we really get excited about is the Webby Awards!

 

We’re especially excited about the Webbys this year because we’ve been nominated for two of them!

 

That’s right, the redesign on of our website (PayPal.com) and our #poemgrams campaign are both nominated for Webby Awards and we could not be more proud!

 

For those of you who might not know, the Webby Awards is an international award honoring excellence on the Internet. Established in 1996 by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), the Webby Awards honor excellence in five major media types: Websites, Interactive Advertising & Media, Online Film & Video, Mobile Sites & Apps, and Social.

 

The PayPal.com Redesign has been selected as a Nominee in the Websites: Financial Services/Banking category. The #poemgrams with love campaign has been selected as a Nominee in the Social: Best Writing category.

 

While the IADAS selects its Webby Winner in each category, every Webby nominee also contends for a Webby People's Voice Award, as selected by the voting public. Last year, people cast over 2 million votes from over 200 countries and territories worldwide. Voting for People's Voice is open from now until to Thursday April 23rd at 11:59 PST.

 

If you’re a fan of either #poemgrams or or website redesign, we’d appreciate you showing your support by voting for us for the People’s Choice Award. Just click on the links below to vote – you have until April 23rd.

 

• PayPal.com Redesign

We can’t wait to see who all the winners are on May 18th!
