the lovie awards
The mission of the Lovie Awards is to recognise the unique and resonant nature of the European internet community – from Europe’s top web and creative networks and content publishers to cultural and political organisations and bedroom bloggers.
‘Lovie’, named in honour of Ada Lovelace, represents outstanding achievement in computer technology. Ada Lovelace is credited as being the first programmer and is a lasting symbol of European innovation and creative ingenuity.
The heart is a universal symbol for love and represents the passion evoked by awesomeness on the internet. No other medium has created such enthusiastic, dedicated followers quite like the web!
The Lovie Awards is presented and will be judged by The International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a body of leading web experts, business figures, luminaries, creative celebrities and other internet professionals.
The Academy chair for The Lovie Awards is Nicolas Roope, co-chair of Internet Week Europe and executive creative director of Poke.
