Way back in September, we put out a nomination call for this year’s Westword Denver #WebAwards.
After much scrutinizing of those nominations, and with input from staff and a few trusted contributors, we’re ready to announce the finalists for this year’s #WebAwards.
They’re on view below.
We’ll announce the winners at an open-to-the-public party on Wednesday, November 16 (a week from tonight) at Casselman’s. The details on this party — which, from what the marketing department tells us, will be “next level” — are on this handy page. (Sorry, kids, but it’s 21 and over. You’ll have to stay home and update your Tumblr with more GIFs.)
When news happens, Westword is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
2011 Judges: Jenny An, Melanie Asmar, Britt Chester, Nick Lucchesi and Kelsey Whipple; with assistance from Dave Herrera, Ru Johnson, Lori Midson, Jonathan Shikes, Laura Shunk and Westword staff and contributors.
