OHbaby! website one of the top 15 in the world
OHbaby! has been recognised as one of the top 15 family and parenting websites in the world. The international 2007
Webby Awards, hailed by the New York Times as the “Oscars of the internet”, named www.ohbaby.co.nz an Official Honoree,
a distinction that highlights work exhibiting remarkable achievement.
OHbaby! is the only New Zealand parenting and pregnancy website to be honoured by the 2007 Webby Awards. Out of 8,000
entries from more than 60 countries, www.ohbaby.co.nz is commended as one of the top 15% of websites in the world.
The Webby Awards is the leading international award honouring excellence on the internet. The awards are judged by the
International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organisation that includes David Bowie, Harvey Weinstein, Arianna Huffington, Matt Groening, Jamie
Oliver, internet inventor Vinton Cerf, and RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser.
With the prestige and cache that accompany an Offical Honoree selection, OHbaby! has joined the ranks of the web's best
and brightest, making the site an industry leader.”
“The Webby Awards honors the outstanding work that is setting the standards for the internet,” said David-Michel
Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards. “OHbaby!’s Official Honoree selection is a testament to the skill,
ingenuity, and vision of its creators.
Angela Pedersen, Director of www.ohbaby.co.nz, said that the award was an amazing achievement for the website,
especially considering that OHbaby! is “a small fish in a big pond.”
“OHbaby! is run by a small team of caring people, all of whom pour their heart and soul into the website,” she said.
“There are so many parenting websites out there, most of them with huge budgets and large staff numbers. For OHbaby! to
be recognised as an Official Honoree, along with such well-known international parenting websites as BabyCenter
(www.babycenter.com) and BabyZone (www.babyzone.com), is an incredible accomplishment for us.”
OHbaby! is a leading New Zealand parenting and pregnancy website, with over 8,500 members. Aimed at parents, pregnant
women, and couples planning a family, www.ohbaby.co.nz is an established and trusted online resource providing
information to help women and men build their knowledge and confidence about pregnancy, babies and parenting. Unlike
other parenting and pregnancy websites, OHbaby!’s content is 100% New Zealand relevant.
