Met's Social Media Nominated for a Webby Award

I'm thrilled to announce that the Met's Instagram account has been nominated for a Webby Award in the Social: Arts & Culture category! The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), honor excellence on the Internet. As a nominee, our Instagram account has been selected as one of the five best in the world in its category. The IADAS selects its Webby Winner in each category, but every nominee also contends for a "People's Voice" Award as selected by the voting public. You can cast your vote for our Instagram account through April 24.

In addition to the nomination, the Met is included as an honoree in several categories: our website is listed in the Web: Cultural Institutions category; our Twitter feed is listed in the Social: Arts & Culture category; and our Instagram account is listed in the Social: Best Photography & Graphics category. Finally, our web series 82nd & Fifth is listed in the Web: Art category.
