Wix Users Lead the Way in Creativity and Style
Global Contest Recognizes 100 Million Wix Users and Their
Stunning Websites
NEW YORK, March 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix.com Ltd.
(Nasdaq: WIX) is proud to announce the three winners of its
first-ever Stunning Awards competition. Approximately 100,000 Wix
websites worldwide were submitted for a chance to win one of three
once-in-a-lifetime, stunning experiences.
"Every single day we have the extraordinary pleasure of looking
at Wix sites from all over the world. For me, it is one of the
greatest rewards of my role. We never cease to be amazed by what
our users are creating," said Omer
Shai, CMO of Wix. "In everything we do, we look for ways to
showcase the unique talents of our users and the Stunning Awards
give us the chance to thank our 100 million users and celebrate
their creativity. We are thrilled, but not surprised, by both the
quality and quantity of submissions for the Stunning Awards.
Congratulations to all of the finalists and the three winners of
the Stunning Awards. They should be very proud of their
accomplishment."
There were approximately 100,000 website submissions, in ten
languages, worldwide for the Stunning Awards. From that pool,
finalists were selected by a panel of Wix design experts who
evaluated each submission based on its structure, design and
layout, originality and creativity. Finalists' websites are on
display in the Stunning Awards Collection, for all to see, and each
finalist has been awarded a finalist badge to display on their
website.
The three Stunning sites that were selected as the winners
are:
Winner: Emilie De Grosbois
(also known as MILDD), who submitted mildd.com, is a Montreal-based visual artist focusing on
hand-drawn illustrations. She has been a part of the Wix community
for five years. De Grosbois said about Wix, "I love the flexibility
and accessibility of the platform! The customization tools are
endless and incredibly intuitive."
Winner: Dennis Krawec, who
submitted krawec.org, is a junior at the Rhode
Island School of Design who built his Wix site as his
portfolio grew and is currently on the hunt for an internship. He
said about Wix, "I like my website to serve as a hub/repository for
all of my work and projects (current or past) and I think Wix lends
itself to that kind of visual experience."
Winner: Zvina Luke, who submitted zvinaluke.com, is a
student at Billy Blue College of Design in Australia. She was inspired to join Wix
several years ago when a lecturer mentioned the platform as a way
to get online and experiment with design. Luke said about Wix, "I
wanted something different and wanted to create my site from
scratch. Wix's functionality has given me a lot of creative freedom
to achieve that."
