OHbaby! On Top Of The World
They call it the Oscars of the internet, and a home-grown New
Zealand business has proved it's among the best in the world -
again.
www.ohbaby.co.nz has been given Official Honoree
status in this year's Webby Awards. Over 10-thousand entries from
around the world were submitted in the 15th Annual Webby
Awards. From that daunting number, the international panel of
judges including Martha Stewart, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone and
Arianna Huffington, select just five award nominees in each
category. They also give special mention to the crème de la crème
of the entrants - bestowing them with Official Honouree status.
Ohbaby.co.nz is in good company. Other Official Honorees in the
Family/Parenting category are Nickjr.com and
healthychildren.org.
This isn't the first time the New Zealand parenting website has
been honoured by the Webby's. It received Official Honoree
status in 2009 and 2007.
OHbaby! managing director Angela Pedersen says "this is a great
achievement for us, and a real testament to the small but immensely
talented team of people who are OHbaby!"
The Webby Awards is now in its 15th year, and is the
world's leading honour recognising achievements in website, online
film and video, mobile and apps, and interactive advertising and
media. Nominees in the Family/Parenting category are
BabyCenter, Making Sense of Baby, Parenting.com, The Partnership at
Drugfree.org and Thomas & Friends. The winners will be
chosen by public vote and honoured at a star-studded gala event in
New York City on June 13th.
