The 12th annual Webby Award nominees were announced yesterday. The Webbys are a pretty big deal; they’re presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and
Sciences
, a “550-member body of leading Web experts, business figures,
luminaries, visionaries and creative celebrities.” It’s pretty sweet to win one of these, but excellent just to be nominated (really)! Here are some of the lightweights who have won in the past:

Amazon.com, eBay, Yahoo!, iTunes, Google, FedEx, BBC News, CNN, MSNBC,
The New York Times, NPR, Salon Magazine, Evite, Meetup, Wikipedia,
Flickr, ESPN, Comedy Central, PBS, and The Onion.

This is the nomination field for this year’s BEST USE OF PHOTOGRAPHY category:

   
National Geographic Magazine- Your Shot
PENTAX Photo Gallery
Peroni Calendario
Dangerous Ground Project
Nick Cobbing Photography
  

So we have here some pretty serious players. National Geographic is National Geographic. Pentax is Pentax. Peroni has semi-naked women shot by famous photographers, and the Dangerous Ground Project is a beautiful site with original photography devoted to land mine awareness (it’s actually really amazing, go see the images).

BUT THEN WE HAVE NICK COBBING! Nick is a lone photographer. This site is his portfolio site. I mean, could there be a bigger coup? The site is so damn impressive. I know I’ve seen it somewhere before, earlier this year…. but where?

No matter. Here are some images from Cobbing’s project, Ice. yeah, they’re awesome. Maybe next year you should get yourself a Webby, too.
