Vote for Concrete Playground in the 2016 Webby Awards and Win a Decadent $1000 Dinner
Swing us some love (we did tell you what nap desks are).
Confetti cannons up, we've got something bloody huge to celebrate. Concrete Playground has been nominated for a 2016 Webby Award, in the category of General Website - Cultural Blog/Website.
Look, we're not pulling your leg, here we are, with fellow nominees VICE, Nowness, Jazz at Lincoln Centre and Polygraph. So we're drinking prosecco for afternoon tea, what of it?
Celebrating their 20th year, The Webbys have seen the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences handing out top tier awards since 1996, celebrating "excellence on the internet including websites, interactive advertising, online film and video and mobile content." Along with our mates and website designers Canvas Group, Concrete Playground is now celebrating our first ever Webby nomination.
Concrete Playground founder and director Rich Fogarty was understandably excited. "FUUUUUUUUUCK!" he said in a statement.
Fellow Australian/NZ nominees include triple j's Hottest 100 site for Music (they're up against Beyonce's official site, kudos), and Trusted Housesitters — based in Australia as well as globally — for the Community category.
Best part of the Webbys? Once the nominations have been announced, the winners are internet-voted. So you can give us a hand! Used CP to find your never-fail date spot (with BYO)? Chase more waterfalls nowadays? Look, we told you what nap desks are, so show us some love and vote for us.
How about some ol' fashioned incentive? We know you're short on time (and that you love transparent nudges like this one), so to sweeten the deal we're giving one reader a $1000 dinner at the restaurant of their choice. To enter, all you have to do is vote for us on the Webby's website, email us a screenshot of the vote confirmation screen to [email protected]. That's it. Get on it.
