2007 Webby Awards: David Bowie and Pro Bono Law Site Among Winners
David Bowie, the eBay auction site and the inventors of YouTube will be honoured with Special Achievement Awards at the 11th Webby Awards, often described as the Internet Oscars, this June 5th in New York.
The Webby Awards are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, “a 550-member body of leading Web experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries and creative celebrities”.
Academy members include musicians Beck (and David Bowie), Internet inventor Vint Cerf, “The Simpsons” creator Matt Groening, Virgin Atlantic Chairman and Founder Richard Branson, and film impresario Harvey Weinstein.
There are awards in some 70 categories, including law.
The 2007 winner in that category is LawHelp.org, an American website that “helps low and moderate income people find free legal aid programs in their communities, and answers to questions about their legal rights”.
