Among the nominees is a cat video streamed from 19 million miles away by the JPL-managed Deep Space Optical Communications experiment riding along with NASA’s Psyche mission.

Since it began in 1958, NASA has been charged by law with spreading the word about its work to the widest extent practicable. From typewritten press releases to analog photos and film, the agency has effectively moved into social media and other online communications. NASA’s broad reach across digital platforms has been recognized by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), with 10 nominations across multiple categories for the academy’s 29th annual Webby Awards.

Public Voting Opportunities

Voting for the Webby People’s Voice Awards — chosen by the public — is open now through Thursday, April 17. Voting links for each category are listed below.

About the Webby Awards

Established in 1996 during the web’s infancy, The Webbys is presented by the IADAS —a 3000+ member judging body. The Academy is comprised of Executive Members — leading Internet experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries, and creative celebrities — and associate members who are former Webby winners, nominees and other internet professionals.

The Webby Awards presents two honors in every category — the Webby Award and the Webby People’s Voice Award. Members of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) select the nominees for both awards in each category, as well as the winners of the Webby Awards. In the spirit of the open web, the Webby People’s Voice is chosen by the voting public, and garners millions of votes from all over the world.
