SXSW Interactive announces Interactive Awards finalists
The South by Southwest Interactive Festival has posted the finalists for its 14th Annual SXSW Interactive Awards.
Unlike many web awards that tend to honor familiar faces year after year, the SXSW Interactive Awards nominate sites or projects that launches or were completely redesigned in 2010. The exception is the “Classic” category, in which Groupon, Mint.com, the New Zealand International Arts Festival, The Onion and the PBS KIDS Video Player were named as finalists.
Some of the better-known finalists on the list include “The Wilderness Downtown,” an interactive site based on an Arcade Fire (for Music), “Conan O’Brien Presents: Team Coco” for Social Media, the website for the Oscar-nominated film “The Social Network” (for Film / TV) and “The Johnny Cash Project” in Art.
The ceremony to name the winners will be held Tuesday, March 15 at the Hilton Austin Downtown. It’ll be hosted by comedian Chris Hardwick, host of G4’s “Web Soup.”
