I mentioned the Webby Awards recently, honoring the best websites in categories receiving honors from judges or popular vote. The Webby Awards are the largest awards of their kind, and GameZombie TV of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has won big:
The student-produced Web series GameZombie TV at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has won two top awards at this year’s 14th annual Webby Awards.
Competing against projects from much larger schools, GameZombie TV garnered enough votes to win the People’s Voice Award in addition to the Webby Award, whose recipient is chosen by a panel of judges.
“This is something we’ve been striving toward for years now,” said Spencer Striker, UW-Whitewater communication instructor and series creator. “Winning the award from both the academy and the people’s vote makes us the top student online video creators in the world.”
Congratulations to everyone who worked on the series.
(I wrote earlier about the Institute for Justice’s nomination for a Webby Award, and they won a People’s Voice Award in their category.)
