We're a Webby Honoree!
This week, judges at the Webby Awards selected the LandofOpportunity interactive platform as an Official Honoree for Best Community Website. This recognition comes as a great and exciting honor as we near only our fifth month of being “live” on the web. Honorees are selected for recognition based on excellence in content, structure and navigation, visual design, functionality, interactivity and overall experience.
We are beyond thrilled to be in the company of fellow Honorees including Vimeo, National Geographic, and the amazing interactive doc Hollow.
That this year’s Awards received 12,000 entries from all 50 US states and over 60 countries worldwide makes this honor even more gratifying and humbling.
If you haven’t yet, please check out our new and featured videos on the LandofOpportunity platform. We also need your help to keep the momentum going and spread the word, so please take a moment to Like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter if you don’t already.
As always, thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned for new features and content in the coming weeks.
Gratefully Yours,
Luisa and the LandofOpportunity team

It currently works best on laptops or tablets with the latest version of popular browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer 9 and above), with a high speed internet connection.
