The 12th Annual Webby Awards today nominated www.pentaxphotogallery.com for the Best Use of Photography in a website for 2008. The site is the singular vision of Ned Bunnell, president, PENTAX Imaging Company, and a passionate photographer in his own right. The PENTAX Photo Gallery was produced and is managed by a team of PENTAX professionals and the web design firm texturemedia of Boulder, Colorado. Winners will be announced on May 6, 2008 and honored at a star-studded gala in New York City on June 10th.
Hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet� by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, including websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile websites. The Webby Awards is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-person judging academy whose members include Internet co-inventor Vinton Cerf, R/GA's Chief Bob Greenberg, "Simpson's" creator Matt Groening, Arianna Huffington, and Harvey Weinstein.
"The Webby Awards honors the outstanding websites that are setting the standards for the Internet," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. "PENTAX's virtual photo gallery Webby Award nomination is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators."
�For decades, PENTAX collected the best images captured by photographers with our cameras and published the work annually in an historical, coffee table-type, book collection,� said Ned Bunnell. �We went in a new direction creating the PENTAX Photo Gallery to offer 24/7/365 virtual access to the best photography captured by Pentaxians around the world. This nomination honors the PENTAX photographers.�
From now through May 1, 2008, fans may cast their votes for Pentaxians and the online gallery in The Webby People's Voice Awards presented by Nokia at http://pv.webbyawards.com. See all the nominees here:
