The winners of The 2009 Davey Awards have been announced by the International Academy of the Visual Arts today.
With over 4,000 entries from across the US and around the world, the Davey Awards honors the finest creative work from the best small firms, agencies and companies worldwide.
Matcha Design LLC. was awarded two Silver Davey Awards this year for the web design projects of tulsachildrensmuseum.org and laflinpi.com.
“We were once again excited to honor and recognize the amazing work submitted into this year’s Davey Awards and are humbled by the exceptional work we have grown accustomed to seeing year after year. This year’s competition saw an increasingly diversified pool of entries and the high quality of work continues to push the limits of creative possibilities throughout the industry,” noted Linda Day, Executive Director of the IAVA. She added “Even in these tough economic times, we continue to see top-notch, high-quality work being submitted, which is a true testament to the dedication and capabilities of our entrants. On behalf of the entire Academy, congratulations to our winners, and thank you to all of this year’s entrants for your contributions and commitment to the advancement of the Visual Arts.”
“We are honored to receive 2 International Davey Awards in this highly competitive web design category,” said Chris Lo, President and Creative Director of Matcha Design. “Both of the projects are very different in terms of target markets and industries but our passion for excellence and attention to detail helped us to produce these two high-quality web site, and as a result, both businesses have gained exposure and businesses over a short period of time after their site launched. We cannot be more pleased with the results.”
