For me winning awards has really only ever been a fun way of someone saying they like your work. And a bit of night out. The notion that you win an award and then double your salary immediately seems charmingly anachronistic, unless I've made a complete balls up of the whole situation! (quite likely actually).
Anyways, amongst all the luvvies sitting around stroking their chins and trying not to get found out when they stitch their rivals up are The Webbys.
The Webbys are a global award that have grown in popularity with the web. Once the preserve of geekdom they are becoming more mainstream. The big difference being that once a piece of work makes the final shortlist it's up to the public to vote. So, the theory is that it's a more democratic process.
Anyway, the key to democracy is persuading people to do things that they don't really want to do and making them think they had a choice.
So....I give you, my friends, trusted friends!, the choice of voting for three of our pieces that have made it into the finals.
I would link directly for your convenience but you have to log in. Sorry about that. You'll have to go via here.
Don't think of it as a vote for Dare - but for your country.
(This politics thing is a piece of piss. Taxi to Notting Hill. Dave, I'm on my way!)
