For the official photo and traditional Webby five-word speech, we brought several large french baguettes as props.
Here is the eight-second video of our speech, which demonstrates our team's spirit and fun personality:
The speech we came up with was: "This app is gluten-free!" We put a french baguette into the trophy as a fun prop and as a play on the concept that carbs are not (always) the enemy (for everyone).
The awards ceremony took place on Monday, May 14 at Cipriani on Wall St. in New York City. The full broadcast of the star-studded show is available on WebbyAwards.com.
The team and I are incredibly grateful for MyPlate's 2018 Webby Award win, especially because this honor came from votes from our readers and app users. Thank you for being a part of our success. We think you're great and we're committed to your success!
