15th annual Webby awards
The Webbys are an annual global award presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences for excellence on the Internet.
The four categories are websites, interactive advertising, online film plus video and mobile with numerous subcategories, each of which are given two awards- top winner and people’s choice.
In this year’s real estate category, Zillow, Trulia, Hotpads, Beirut Terraces and NYT’s Real Estate section were nominated.
We couldn’t predict this year’s winner in advance based on past win patterns, and Zillow won not only the Webby Award as given by the international committee but also the People’s Choice Award, the first time a real estate company has ever won both.
Congratulations to Zillow for this year’s big win!
