The recently concluded 18th Annual Webby Awards saw that the prestigious Electronica Hogwarts – Academy of Electronic Music become the winner of the People’s Voice Award in the category of Arts & Culture! The Webby Awards are awards for excellence on the Internet presented annually by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. Categories include websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile. Established way back in 1996, when the internet was young, the awards are dedicated to honoring excellence on the internet. Two winners are selected in each category; one by the honorary members of The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences called the “Webby Winner”, and the other based on votes cast by the Web community all over the world called the “People’s Voice” award.
The Academy of Electronic Music is a collaboration between Amsterdam-based Dance music record label Armada Music, Point Blank Music School, Google+, and media partner DJ MAG UK. The goal of the academy is to create a fully social music school to help develop the next generation of superstar DJs and producers, by giving them an online platform and launchpad to bring their music to the world. With nearly 500,000 fans voting from over 200 countries, the Academy of Electronic Music was selected to receive the prestigious award.
