This year Kyrie Irving’s personal blog won the juried prize.

“Cooks Without Borders has set the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet,” said Claire Graves, Executive Director of The Webby Awards. “This award is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of its creators.”

“I’m absolutely gobsmacked that we have won the People’s Voice Webby,” said Brenner. “Humblest thanks to the judges for nominating Cooks Without Borders, and congratulations to Kyrie Irving and his team. I’m over-the-moon grateful to our readers for turning out in such great numbers to vote for us.”
