"Tiny Awards is a small prize awarded by an equally-small selection committee
of online makers to the website which we feel best embodies the idea of a
small, playful and heartfelt web."
[...]
"Why are you doing this?
The web is big. Really, really, really big. Huge, really, if you think about
it. Maybe even infinite.
Despite this vastness, though, it can often feel…oddly small. How many websites
do you visit each day? How many apps? How often do you stumble across something
beautiful or poignant or emotional or unexpected? Do you find yourself startled
and amazed by human creativity and endeavour on a daily basis? Or, more likely,
do you wearily trudge across the same landscape of urls and social icons,
drinking from the algorithmically-mandated firehose without ever really feeling
sated (or even, frankly, tasting anything)?
Does your online experience feel, basically, simultaneously TOO SMALL and yet
TOO BIG, monolithic and lacking in magic?
Too often, it feels very much like ours does -, which is why we wanted to
create something that celebrates the other web, the one that is small and
handmade and isn’t trying to sell you anything or monetise anything but which
instead is about people using the digital tools we all have access to to make
the sorts of small, personal experiences that you tend not to see ‘in feed’.
These, then, are the inaugural (and maybe final, who knows?) Tiny Awards - a
celebration of people making stuff on the internet for the fun of it and the
love of it and the hell of it."
