The Lovie Awards stands in solidarity with Ukraine, all of its citizens, and those in Russia who oppose the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian government.
The Lovie Awards was created to celebrate the best Internet work across Europe. Each year, we receive over 2000 submissions from across the globe. Despite our goal of honoring work from every corner of the world, this year The Anthem Awards will join The Webby and Lovie Awards by not accepting work from Russian-based applicants.
IADAS is supporting Ukraine through HelpUkraine.center, which is providing humanitarian and medical aid to people in need https://helpukraine.center
Our thoughts go out to our entire community affected by this invasion.
