Each year, The Webby Awards honors the teams who created the year’s most impressive work with five Webby Company of the Year Awards: Webby Agency, Network, Production Company, Media Company and Podcast Company of the Year Awards!

How We Select “Company Of the Year” Recipients

The five Webby Companies of the Year will be determined via a point system established by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS). These Special Achievement awards will recognize the top companies with the most honors, People’s Voice Awards and Webby Awards in the competition. Those in the running for one of these distinctions will be alerted at the time Nominees are announced. The winner will be announced with all other Webby Award Winners in May 2024.

Our Judging Academy will use the information provided in the “Parent Company” field at the time of entry to calculate which holding company receives the honor. The deadline for credits to be included in the Nomination Announcement is March 1, 2024.

With our Extended Entry Deadline coming up on Friday, February 9th—your last chance to enter for a chance to snag a title—we’ve answered our most frequently asked questions about the awards and created a guide for what it’s going to take for your team to win big.
