Webby Awards go to fewer than 15% of the more than 10,000 entries received from more than 60 countries. Pennsylvania's entries visitPA.com and newPA.com were recognized for creativity, functionality and overall excellence.
VisitPA.com is the official travel and tourism site for visitors to the state. In September 2008, the site was redesigned to provide visitors with a more in-depth conversation about Pennsylvania. The more a visitor is engaged, the more likely they are to plan a trip in Pennsylvania.
NewPA.com was designed to be a tool for business decision-makers and community leaders to explore the wide range of programs, resources and business incentives available in the commonwealth.
Established in 1996, the Webby Award is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-member body of leading Web experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries and creative celebrities. (TravelMole, May 2009)
