The Buddha Website Wins Two Webby Awards

Nicole Mance Foster

I am excited to announce that The Buddha site won two Webby Awards! It was built in partnership with Sonnet Media as a companion to The Buddha documentary directed by David Grubin that aired on PBS in April 2010. The site was built using Django to create a multi layered interactive experience to further explore the life and times of the Buddha.

The Buddha Website Nominated for Webby Award

I'm delighted to announce that the PBS companion website for The Buddha — a site that Caktus helped build using the Django web framework — has been nominated for a Webby Award in the Religion and Spirituality category! Online voting for the People’s Voice awards is now underway and we would appreciate you voting for the site and encouraging others to do so as well. You can also view the entry page directly here.
