The 2014 Webby Award nominations were announced this week, and one particular nomination stood out. Because once again, in the Online Film & Video: Variety category, TED is pitted against Kid President. And once again, we’re so conflicted.

If you are too, vote for TED where you can; we’ll understand. Here are all of TED’s nominations in the People’s Voice ballot. Sign in to vote in support of TED.com, TED-Ed or one of the other amazing nominees:

TED.com is nominated in Social: Education & Discovery and in Online Film & Video: Events & Live Webcasts, as well as the hotly contested Online Film & Video: Variety.

Our app is nominated in Mobile & Apps: Education & Reference, and the  iTunes audio podcast series is nominated in Mobile & Apps: Podcasts.

Meanwhile, TED-Ed is up for the Web: Education category.

Voting is open until April 24, and winners will be announced April 29.

News TED Conferences

The 2014 Webby Award winners are in, and we are excited to see TED honored in four categories:

In the category Online Film & Video: Events & Live Webcasts, TED got the double stamp of approval as both the Webby winner and the People’s Voice winner. Ditto in the category Mobile & Apps: Education & Reference.

In the hotly contested category Online Film & Video: Variety, we were declared the Webby winner. We’re super excited, though, to see the People’s Voice Award go to Kid President. Because, well, he rocks.

And in the category Social: Education & Discovery we won the People’s Voice award, while the official Webby winner is D-Day: As It Happens.

Congratulations to all the winners of this year’s Webbys. We’re honored to win these awards, and are thinking hard about our five-word acceptance speeches.
