The members of the Academy that organizes the Webby Awards are political journalist as Arianna Huffington, musicians as Beck and David Bowie and Internet inventor Vint Cerf among others. These people took a clever decision. The winners can say thanks, of course, but they are not allowed to mention every single name of their relatives and workmates, neither to explain how surprised they are, how good were the other nominated, etc. Here you don't have to pray for the orchestra to do the dirty job. All the winners of The Webby Awards are advised to prepare a five-words acceptance speech. Not more but not less than five words. Regarding what past winners have said there is no doubt that the five-word speech is an excellent idea. Here there are some of my favorite five-word speeches:
Branded Content. Clearification: Thanks mom: whoever you are.If you liked these allocutions you can find hundreds of five-words speeches on the Webby Awards website. And don't miss this amazing advertisement!
