WINNER
The Verge
Nilay Patel, Editor in Chief
Kristen Radtke, Creative Director
“2004 Was the First Year of the Future,” October 15

The Verge’s tribute to 2004 inspired pure jealousy among the judges in this category, leaving them nearly breathless. “This is not some interactive stroll down memory lane,” they said, “but a genius journey. The masthead scroll, the slide button to change design, the ancient Facebook feel, the use of every font available in 2004—it just keeps going . . .”
