The Webby Awards is the leading international award honouring excellence on the Internet, often referred to as the 'Oscars of the web industry'. With nearly 10,000 entries received from all 50 US states and over 60 countries, the Official Honouree distinction was awarded to the top 10% of all work entered that exhibited remarkable achievement in content, structure and navigation, visual design, functionality, interactivity and overall experience.
Other Webby Award Official Honourees this year include industry leaders such as the Disney Channel, Lego, Warner Bros, The Economist, Cisco Systems, the Adobe Museum of Digital Media and CNN.com
First launched in April 2009, Fervr is a growing online resource partner for churches, schools, camps and other youth ministries providing regular bible-based articles, pop culture reviews, videos and apologetics written exclusively for youth.
"We never expected Fervr to be recognized on an international level," said Kitty Fung, Digital Producer. "We'd love to see a greater Christian presence in the digital arts and hopefully this will inspire others to use their gifts to minister to God's people while contributing to the creative and/or tech community."
Fervr.net is dedicated to growing young Christians in their knowledge of God, training them to live out their faith and share it with their friends. The aim of Youthworks Media is to develop Fervr into the 'go-to' resource that engages with the popular culture whilst giving youth a gospel-centred world view.
