Hailed as the Oscars of the Internet by The New York Times, the Webby Awards, founded in 1996, 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 and Sciences, a global organisation that includes David Bowie, Harvey Weinstein, Arianna Huffington, Matt Groening, Jamie Oliver, Internet inventor Vinton Cerf, and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser.
