Select Italy nominated for "Internet Oscar"

Select Italy has been nominated for the most prestigious award on The Web. Hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet" by the New York Times, the Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence in Web design, creativity, usability and functionality. Established in 1996, the 9th Annual Webby Awards received over 4,000 entries from all 50 states and over 40 countries worldwide. The Webby Awards are presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. The Academy is an intellectually diverse organization that includes over 500 members consisting of leading experts in a diverse range of fields, such as musician David Bowie, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, business guru and author Tom Peters, The Body Shop president Anita Roddick, fashion designer Max Azria, "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening and Real Networks CEO Rob Glaser.

The Webby Awards presents two honors in each category: The Webby Award and The People's Voice Award. While members of The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences select the nominees for both awards, the online community, determines the winners of The People's Voice Awards by voting for the sites that you believe to be the best in each category.
