NPR leads public broadcasters in nominations announced this morning for the 13th annual Webby Awards, the international competition for "Best of the Web" recognition. NPR Music, Podcasts, and NPR.org each received nominations in the Web division; Project Song, a video series presented online by All Songs Considered, and the NPR iPhone application were nominated in divisions for online film and video and mobile Web divisions, respectively. For PBS, Frontline/World garnered three nods (here, here and here). Also in the running for Webbys are P.O.V., Religion and Ethics Newsweekly, WNET.org and the public radio series America Abroad. In addition to votes by members of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, which sponsors and presents the Webby Awards, web users determine which nominees in each category garner People's Voice Awards.
