Indianapolis, IN USA - April 30, 2012 - The Horizon Interactive Awards, a leading international interactive media competition, announced the 2011 award winners, recognizing the year’s best achievements in interactive media production. Pixelcarve received the prestigious Best in Category award for The Food Dudes “Culinary Canvas” website in the Business to Business category. “Receiving awards of this caliber is not only deeply gratifying for the entire team at Pixelcarve, but it’s reassurance that the immersive and experiential interactive work we create in Flash is making an impact in the industry and offering tangible business benefits to our clients. It’s important that brands resist the urge to compromise their website with dull design simply to satisfy the lowest common denominator when there are better ways to achieve the objective of reaching everyone across online and mobile platforms,” said Curtis Priest, Pixelcarve’s CEO. The 10th anniversary international competition attracted more than 1,000 entries from over 20 countries, including Turkey, China, Spain, UAE, Canada, France, Russia, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Australia, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Germany, and nearly all 50 U.S. states. An international panel of judges composed of industry professionals, along with an end-user panel, evaluated entries across diverse categories, from online advertising to mobile applications. The 2011 winning entries represented the industry’s finest in websites, online ads, mobile apps, and interactive media solutions. “The 2011 competition was special because it marked our 10th anniversary,” said Mike Sauce, Founder of the Horizon Interactive Awards. “The competition was fierce among top entries in all categories, and the level of creativity, artistry, and technical expertise on display was remarkable.
