With new honors across Virtual & Remote, Podcasts, Software, and Social, there are even more ways to win at The 25th Annual Webby Awards. One thing we love about the Internet: There’s always something new to discover. That’s because boundary-pushing companies, agencies, and digital innovators are continually finding new ways to create with digital technology. Because of that pioneering spirit, we’re not stuck sharing the same meme from 2014 or trying to work remotely through instant messenger. Luckily, the Internet is always evolving. And as the Internet changes, The Webby Awards changes with it. To mark 25 years of honoring the best of the Internet, we’ve [expanded our categories]( to highlight the latest, most innovative online work. This year, we’re debuting a whole suite of new honors across Virtual & Remote, Podcasts, Software, and Social. We’re also welcoming a slate of new judges for these categories, including Nikole Hannah-Jones, Creator of The 1619 Project; D-Nice, DJ and Founder of Club Quarantine; Cal Henderson, Co-founder of Slack; Sarah Clatterbuck, Director of Engineering, Google; and more. They’re all waiting to see how your project is shaping the future of the Internet.
