Guide to Media Outreach for the Webbys
The media can play an important role in helping you spread the message on how companies, organizations, and individuals in your country can enter The 16th Annual Webby Awards.
Here are some great ways you can use the media in your area to make sure the right people know how to get their work considered for a Webby Award.
Issue a press release
Use our easy-to-use Call for Entries press release template to garner coverage in your country's media. Distribute to Internet, technology, and business reporters at print, broadcast, and online outlets. Plus: Don't forget to contact influential bloggers who cover the Internet, media, advertising, mobile, and entertainment industries in your country.
Develop Media Lists
The Webby Awards may be able to assist you in developing media lists specific to your country. Please contact Emily Warren at emily@webbyawards.com for more information-she can help you with research and contacts.
Shine a Spotlight on Past Honorees, Nominees and Winners
Generate publicity for the Call for Entries by encouraging the media to profile past Webby Awards Winners, Nominees, and Honorees from your country. By sharing what winning a Webby meant to them, as well as their tips for creating a Webby-winning site, past Winners, Nominees and Honorees can help put a face on The Webby Awards.
Target Industry and Professional Organizations
Create a list of professional organizations in your country that relate to Webby Awards categories, such as advertising, travel, or real estate. Contact the organization to request that they include information in their newsletters or on their Websites about how their members can enter The Webby Awards.
