NASA has been nominated for seven Webby Awards across categories including AI, Immersive & Games, Social, Video & Film, and Podcasts, according to the space agency. The nominations span projects from several NASA centers, such as Goddard, Marshall, and Johnson. Notable entries include "Hearing Hubble" in the AI, Immersive & Games category, "NASA Astronauts Posts from Space" in General Social, and "Houston We Have a Podcast: Artemis II: The Mission" in Podcasts.
The Webby Awards, established in 1996, are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), a judging body of over 3,000 members. The awards feature two honors per category: the Webby Award, selected by IADAS members, and the Webby People's Voice Award, chosen by public vote. NASA has been charged by law since 1958 with broadly disseminating information about its work, and these nominations reflect its digital outreach efforts. Voting for the People's Voice Awards is open through Thursday, April 16, and typically draws millions of votes worldwide.
