October 13, 2026 - The SHC marketing department has received notification that three of its four category nominations in the 2026 w3 Digital Awards competition were selected as winners! The competition, hosted by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA) in New York, honors the best digital content, experiences and creativity across websites, video, online marketing, podcasts, social media, creator content, artificial intelligence (AI), immersive, software and mobile apps. The w3 Awards recognizes the brands, agencies, institutions and independent creators who set trends, break boundaries and shape the digital landscape.
This year, the 21st Annual w3 Awards received thousands of entries globally from advertising agencies, digital agencies, in-house creative and marketing professionals, web designers, graphic designers and more. Each entry is reviewed by multiple jurors, scored by a rubric of criteria using a ten-point scale. The average score across all Jury reviews becomes the entry's final score, which determines the award level honored. Scores of 9 or above typically earn Gold, while scores of 7 to 8.9 earn Silver. Best in Show, the platform's highest mark of distinction, is given only to the top 1% of all work entered.
The w3 Awards is evaluated by the AIVA, an assembly of industry leaders from acclaimed brands, agencies and institutions like Google, Netflix, Microsoft, The Walt Disney Company, Monks, McCANN, Dentsu, GLAAD, the Smithsonian and Stanford University, among many others.
"Standing out in a digital world that never slows down is harder than ever," said AIVA General Manager Josh Campbell. "The teams honored this year delivered innovative ideas, expert execution and real impact with work that stopped the scroll and stuck with the jury long after the first click. This season's winners show what boundary-breaking digital work looks like. We're honored to spotlight Winners whose work was truly Built to Win (this year's theme)."
This year's winners also included Forbes, Bank of America, GoFundMe, CBS News, New York University, Fortune Brand Studio, Zeta Global, Work & Co, part of Accenture Song, Hakuhodo I-Studio, BBC StoryWorks, University of Notre Dame, J.
