I am happy to announce that I am on the jury for this years Tiny Awards!
Which, since 2023, has celebrated the best of the small, poetic, creative, handmade web, and nominations for 2025 are now open.
The Tiny Awards exist because we thought it was important to shine a spotlight on the sorts of personal web projects that tend to get overlooked by more traditional, larger or more commercial awards.
Each year we ask the online world to nominate their favourite creative, non-commercial website built in the past 12 months. A panel of selected expert judges drawn from across the wide world of web-based creativity then pick their favourites. Finally, the entire web then votes upon this list to pick its favourite. The winner, as chosen by public vote, wins a small prize and a small handmade trophy (and we hopefully give an even smaller prize to each nominee).
That’s it.
It was a great honour to be asked by Matt from Webcurios to join the jury. Some of the other names on the list this year are internet hero’s of mine. Huge list.
Shortlist selection will be published in July.
If you would like to nominate a project of your own, or your favourite website by someone else for this years Tiny Awards, the selection criteria from the FAQ is below:
To be eligible for selection, projects must meet the following criteria:
- Non-commercial: projects must not be intended for commercial end; projects which feature some sort of merchandise/donation mechanic are eligible, but this must be secondary to the project’s primary scope/focus.
- URL-based: projects must exist on their own, unique URL (on a URL you—or the website maker, if not the submitter—own. It can be a subdomain/subdirectory/file sitting somewhere off the main domain).
- No apps/downloads: projects that exist as apps and/or require a download are excluded from selection.
- No agencies or brands: individuals or groups of creators only.
- Launched between July 2024 and July 2025
