The Anthem Awards’ origin is inextricably tied to the story of the Internet. Since 1996, The Webby Awards has been the Internet’s highest honor, recognizing the most creative and innovative work made online. Shaping that standard of good work is the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, the Webby Groups’ global judging body of creative leaders, technologists, and innovators across every sector.
As the Internet has evolved in the past 30 years, so has the work. The Webby Team saw the convergence of social impact and digital media, with work documenting the Arab Spring, building global momentum for movements like #MeToo, and creating platforms like Kickstarter to democratize fundraising. Many of them won Webby Awards.
While The Webby Awards sets the standard for Internet excellence, impact work is different. It deserves its own lens, criteria, and measurement of what good work looks like. In 2021, The Anthem Awards launched to set the benchmark for impact work, and recognize the best of it.
