The Webbys, hailed as "The most prestigious award in the world" by the BBC, is the global index of success for interactive work. The 10th Annual Webby Awards drew 5,500 entries from over 40 countries and from all 50 States, an over 30% growth from 2005.

This year, the Webbys are doing even more to reach the global community through the new Webby International Ambassador Program. Webby Ambassadors are a group of passionate Internet supporters, creatives, and entrepreneurs in 15 countries, serving as a "voice on the ground" in their area.

Please contact Webby Ambassadors if you're interested in partnership, participating in a Webby event abroad, or if you are an entrant and need any foreign language assistance.
