The Lovie Awards is the Webby Awards’ benchmark for European digital excellence, recognising the people, projects, and ideas shaping Europe’s contributions to the internet.

Launched in 2010, The Lovie Award is presented by the European arm of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS)—a 3,000+ membership body which also judges The Webby Awards. The Academy is comprised of —leading Internet experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries, artists, and talented entertainers and creators. Work is judged in seven native languages including; Spanish, Italian, Dutch, French, German, Swedish and English.
