04.15.2010

Fastspot is proud to announce that they have been nominated for two Best School/University Websites in the 14th Annual Webby Awards for their work on the Bucknell University Virtual Tour and the University of Puget Sound’s Website. Each category has five finalists, giving Fastspot two of the five in the School/University category.

Hailed as the "Internet's highest honor" by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, including Websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile Websites. Fastspot is a former Webby honoree and winner.  This year, Fastspot Creative Director, Tracey Halvorsen, also participated as a judge for the Awards.

"As a past Webby winner, we recognize the level of competition that occurs in this particular awards program, and what an honor it is to be recognized," remarked Halvorsen. "It is truly the highest compliment to an interactive agency to have your work make it to the finals in the Webbys. We are beyond thrilled to have two nominations in the same category this year, a very unique distinction."

As a nominee, Fastspot is also eligible to win a Webby People’s Voice Award, which is voted online by the global Web community. Voting for this honor is now open. From now until April 29, Fastspot supporters can cast their votes at http://webby.aol.com/society/schooluniversity. People’s Voice and Webby Award winners will be honored at the 14th Annual Webby Awards in New York City on June 14, 2010.
