We Won a Webby Award!

Well what d’you know? The First Light Movies website that we built at 3form has only gone and won a Webby Award!

A great big thank you to everyone who worked on the project!

So I’ll be jetting out to New York for Internet Week in June to pick up one of these spirally babies:

And in a wonderful ‘pieces all fitting together’ / ‘all my ducks lined up in a row’ / ‘there really must be a big plan going on here’ piece of synchronicity that’s the week I have earmarked for a launch of my new startup.

You really couldn’t plan this kind of thing if you wanted to!

Here’s what the Webby Awards PR people say about the Webby Awards:

Winners will be honored at two star-studded ceremonies in New York City: The Webby Film & Video Awards on June 9th and The 12th Annual Webby Awards Gala on June 10th.

Hailed as the “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. The Webby Awards is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-person judging academy whose members include Internet co-inventor Vinton Cerf, R/GA’s Chief Bob Greenberg, “Simpson’s” creator Matt Groening, Arianna Huffington, and Harvey Weinstein.

And for one I don’t have to worry about a speech too (or do I?) – everyone gets just five words that they’re allowed to say in their acceptance.

Any ideas? I’m thinking they might appreciate an injection of British/Midlands humour…
