RT became the winner of the Internet Oscar Webby Awards with a project for the 75th anniversary of Victory

“The Webby Awards are rightfully considered the most prestigious digital award in the world.

To receive the highest award from the Academy is a great success, which we are proud of and congratulate our artists, colleagues and partners - everyone who worked on the project and supported us, ”said the creative director of RT, author of the idea for the Victory Pages project Kirill Karnovich-Valois.

The main Webby Awards for Social / Features: Best Use of Stories went to Instagram's Infinite Letter.

The project, created in collaboration with students of the RANEPA School of Design and professional graphic artists Mikhail Sorkin and Petr Bankov, combines lines from front letters with illustrations based on them.

“Endless Letter” was created as part of the large-scale multimedia project RT # Pages of Victory, which tells the story of the Great Patriotic War through the prism of new media and digital art on five platforms: Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, VKontakte and YouTube. #Winning Pages have already received international awards from The Drum Awards for Online Media, ADC Awards, Shorty Awards, Lovie Awards, Red Dot, Digiday and others.
