2.  Add Your Nomination to Your Website

A little online makeover can go a long way. And you can easily call attention to your Webby nomination by sprucing up your homepage. Use a People’s Voice-related cover graphic on your homepage, explore the digital ads in The Webby Voting Toolkit, created in Canva, or add one of these Webby site badges that we’ve created for you.

3. Dispatch the News to Your Listserv

Do you run a Substack or send a weekly newsletter? Spread the news to your subscribers through a dedicated email, and encourage them to vote for you. As people who already enjoy your work, you subscribers are likely to support you and share it with their circles as well. A few tips: try to reach as many people as possible, and get personal! People want to know what being nominated for a Webby Award means to you.

See a few examples from Webby Nominees below. Tumblr sent an email to every person who has ever owned a Tumblr. Also see examples from Lemonada Media listing its nominated podcasts. You can throw a Webby badge, image or an email header template from The Webby Voting Toolkit, created in Canva, into your newsletter, too. Don’t forget to let them know where to vote.

4. Update Your App and Podcast Descriptions

If your app, social series, platform or podcast has been nominated, try plugging your Webby nomination in your descriptions in your app store listing, videos, or podcast episodes. If you run a podcast, try updating your podcast sticker as well—there are ready-made templates in The Webby Voting Toolkit, created in Canva.

See a few examples of how Nominees have updated their descriptions, like DJ Cummerbund.

5. Write a Blog Post for Your Site

Another easy way to call out your Webby nominations is to write a blog post. Post it on your homepage, get creative with the messaging, and you can also share that post everywhere. Last year, production company m ss ng p eces published a blog post calling out their nominations in their signature style. You can also use one of the blog post header templates, available in The Webby Voting Toolkit, created in Canva.

6. Utilize Digital Ads, Everywhere

This is another easy promotional tactic—place digital ads across your website, app, platform and more. Previously Nominees have used roadblocks, like the TV Time app or Rotten Tomatoes. There are plenty of digital ad templates you can use in The Webbys Voting Toolkit, created in Canva, including leaderboard, medium, and half page ads. See past Nominee examples below.

7. Shine In Your Email Signature
