Webby Awards: The Escapist Wins! Updated: 5/5

[Spinwhiz]

Hello Community!

I wanted to change this thread and thank everyone for voting for us. There were two awards we nominated for in this year's Webbys. Because of, you, The Escapist Community, we won the Webby for Best Game-Related Website which was chosen by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences! So, congrats to all of our supporters!

What about the People's Voice Award you ask? Well, unfortunately we were edged out at the last minute, but that is okay. We showed a CBS-owned site that is 7 times our size just who The Escapist is, taking the fight to the end. So, please look at it this way: 300. If the award were given out on the basis of the percentage of site size to actual votes, we would have won by a landslide.

Everyone here at The Escapist deeply appreciates all your help and support! The badges are on their way!

Best,
Spinwhiz

We will be granting the badges after we find out who wins, hopefully during the first full week of May.

I voted. Not a big fan of ZP, like the rest of the comments seem to be.

I voted because of our awesome community, including our great moderators and news hounds. And Genre Wars is pretty fun. Which is a nice bonus. Also, Unskippable.

I voted for Escapist. Luckily, I didn't know any of the other candidates, so there was no competition.

 

[Hoppetussa]

It's good to know that I helped out.

 

[prinxess]

I voted. Not because of the badges but because Escapist rocks.
Out of curiosity, will there be badges if Escapist ranks second? Which is VERY unlikely. -eT

I have a warm and fuzzy feeling inside and it's not a kitten
