We congratulate PerthNorg (www.perthnorg.com.au) on being selected as an Official Honoree for the News Category in the 11th Annual Webby Awards. This prestigious title is awarded to sites that score within the top 15% of all entries.
The Webby Award is a leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, including Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video, and Mobile Websites. The awards are judged by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization that includes David Bowie, Harvey Weinstein, Arianna Huffington, Matt Groening, Jamie Oliver, Internet inventor Vinton Cerf, and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser.
With over 8,000 entries received from all 50 states and over 60 countries, we here at Freckle believe this is tremendous achievement.
