The nominations are the highest honor in online communications. Public voting is open through May 7.

From alien planets to whale sharks, on websites and across social media, NASA’s digital communications work was recognized this year by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences with six nominations in a variety of categories, with an additional Instagram story being named an honoree.

“We’re thrilled that NASA’s online efforts across the agency are being recognized,” said Marc Etkind, associate administrator for communications. “It’s great to see the recognition for our achievements in not only human exploration, space science, and aeronautics, but in climate, STEM, and reaching diverse audiences.”
