We were nominated in three different categories: two for our infoporn Twitter mashup coverage of the US Election, Hack the Debate. One in Best Use of Interactive Video and the other for Events and Live Broadcasts and another for News & Politics: Individual Episodes for Mariana Von Zellar's Vanguard piece on the turnout of young voters in the election, entitled 'Obama's Army'
So, Hackthedebate won both the People's Voice Award and the official Webby award for Best Use of Interactive Video ~ something that wouldn't have been possible without the help of you guys getting involved when it was going down, and of course, voting for us in the run up to the awards.
Vanguard' Mariana Van Zeller's documentary on the exceptional turn out of young voters in the US Election, 'Obama’s Army,' also scooped the People's Voice Winner Award, meaning that it was down to you guys that we won, so again a massive bloody thanks to the lot of you!
If for some crazy reason you've missed either of our award winning pieces you can check them out at the links below:

I didn't know what a Webby was until today, but as many has said earlier "Congrats Current!" I guess that's one more for the books.

I am glad to have taken part in those caffeine-powered 2-screen political marathons in October!
And the Vanguard team really deserve their award, too.
So well done everybody!
