\u201cThe Webby Awards\u2019 30-year legacy reflects how the Internet continues to expand how we create, connect, and express ourselves,\u201d Webby Media Group executive director Jesse Feister said in a statement. \u201cEach wave of technology reshapes our lives and the standards of what great work looks like online. From the birth of eBay to the rise of TikTok, the Webbys have defined excellence in those moments. This year, by recognizing new frontiers in AI and creators, we\u2019re continuing to champion the kinds of creativity that challenge our conventions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
