A level Playing Field for you to Shine

Simply put, the W³ is the first major web competition to be accessible to the biggest agencies, the smallest firms, and everyone in between. Small firms are as likely to win as Fortune 500 companies and international agencies. Shouldn't we all have a chance to "Thank the Academy"?

The Powers behind the W³

The W³ is sanctioned and judged by the International Academy of the Visual Arts, an invitation-only body consisting of top-tier professionals from a "Who's Who" of acclaimed media, interactive, advertising, and marketing firms. IAVA members include executives from organizations such as Alloy, BRANDWEEK, Coach, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Estee Lauder, HBO, iNDELIBLE, Monster.com, MTV, Omnicom, Polo Ralph Lauren, Refinery, Sotheby's Institute of Art, Victoria's Secret, Wired, Yahoo!, and many others. For more info, and a full member roster, please visit www.iavisarts.org.

Honor your Team and Impress your Clients

Just by entering, you honor the work of your team. And recognition from the Academy proves to your clients and your peers that your work is truly outstanding. The W³ is your opportunity to be honored as the best of the Web.

Earn the Credit you Deserve

Entries are judged based on a standard of excellence as determined by the Academy. Top entries win a Gold W³ Award, other outstanding entries win a Silver W³ Award. The Academy will award Best in Show honors to the top 1% of all entries received. Work entered into multiple categories may win multiple awards.
