La Chureca Web Site Named Honoree in 11th Annual Webby Awards

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Boston, MA – May 2007 – The Webby Awards, the leading international honor for web sites, has named La Chureca a 2006 Official Honoree for the Charitable Organizations/Non-Profit category in the 11th Annual Webby Awards. The site was produced by HGX Creative. Winners will be honored at The 10th Annual Webby Awards in New York City on June 12th.

Hailed as the “online Oscars” by Time Magazine, The Webby Awards are determined by the International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences, a global organization with a membership that includes musician David Bowie, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, The Body Shop president Anita Roddick, “Simpsons” creator Matt Groening, Real Networks CEO Rob Glaser, and fashion designer Max Azria.

“The Webby Awards honors the outstanding web sites that are setting the standards for the internet,” said Tiffany Shlain, founder and ambassador of The Webby Awards. “Being an Official Honoree is a testament to the skill, ingenuity, and vision of La Chureca’s creators.”

The 11th Annual Webby Awards received over 8,000 entries from all 50 states and over 60 countries. The Official Honoree distinction is awarded to work that scores in the top 15%.

“We are enormously honored by this high profile recognition of our work,” says Debbie Nierman, founder and CEO of HGX Creative. “The hard work our team put into helping others has paid off in donations received by La Chureca as a direct result of the site – this acknowledgment is the frosting on the cake.”
