Berkeley Lab has been singled out among thousands of submissions for a Webby Award nomination recognizing excellence in website content, structure and navigation, visual design, overall experience, functionality, and interactivity. Known widely as the Webbys, these awards are considered the “Oscars of the internet.”

The Lab’s new website, created in partnership with web consulting firm Smith + Connors, has been selected as a Top 5 nominee in the Government & Association category and is in the running for the top award, the Webby. Winners will be announced April 25. 

Two awards are given in each category: Webby Award winners are chosen by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a global organization of industry experts and technology innovators. The Webby People’s Voice Award is voted on by the public, and online voting will be open until April 20. Both honors are a mark of distinction for web excellence.

We are grateful that the new website, meant to aid in our mission of bringing science solutions to the world, has been recognized.
