Press release from: Lord IV, Inc.

Portland, OR – 4/08/08 – Today, the 12th Annual Webby Awards nominated COLOURlovers for the Best Community Website of 2008. This is the second year in a row that COLOURlovers, a Portland based start-up, has been honored with this nomination.

Hailed as the "Oscars of the Internet” by the New York Times, The Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet, including Websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile Websites. The Webby Awards is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-person judging academy whose members include Internet co-inventor Vinton Cerf, R/GA’s Chief Bob Greenberg, "Simpson's" creator Matt Groening, Arianna Huffington, and Harvey Weinstein.

”Being nominated for a Webby is a huge honor for any web company, but for our small start-up to be nominated two years in a row makes us proud of our work and very grateful to our members who built our supportive community. With our 1,000,000th user-named color projected to be uploaded sometime later this month, we’re happy to report that the love of color is alive and well,“ said Darius A Monsef IV, the creator and editor of COLOURlovers.

From now through May 1st, online fans around the world can cast their own votes for COLOURlovers in The Webby People’s Voice Awards presented by Nokia at http://pv.webbyawards.com/nominee/entry/112320818. Winners will be announced on May 6, 2008 and honored at a star-studded gala in New York City on June 10th.

The 12th Annual Webby Awards received nearly 10,000 entries from over 60 countries and all 50 states. Only 15% of the entries were given an official honoree status and an even smaller number were put on the ballots as official nominees-five in the Best Community category.
