PBS-affiliated sites received six nominations -- more than any company has received in one year in Webby history -- including a nomination for PBS Kids, the online home not only of “Arthur,” but also of the WGBH-produced sites “Between the Lions” and “ZOOM.” Hailed as “the online Oscars” by Time Magazine, The Webby Award is the leading international honor for Web sites.

The public is invited to select their favorite Web sites in The People's Voice Awards. Through May 7, 2004 online fans can cast their ballots at http://www.webbyawards.com/peoplesvoice. The winners will be announced May 12.
