Announcing the 2021 .eu Web Awards Winners!

Last night the 2021 .eu Web Awards ended in epic fashion at the Teatro Antico in Taormina, Italy. Hosted by EURid, the .eu Web Awards are a competition for the best .eu, .?? and .?? websites. After last year's virtual only event, we were pleased to once again celebrate the finalists and winners in person. View the hybrid event here.

Hosted by Sally Bundock, esteemed journalist for BBC world news, the gala night brought us sincere joy reflected by the winners, combined with amazing performances by featured artists like THePETEBOX, Women Orchestra, MM Dance Company, Compagnia Joculares and the GAP's Orchestra. The magical event ended with fireworks.

"Being able to see real faces and raw emotion conveyed by the guests again made the night unforgettable" noted Giovanni Seppia, EURid's External Relations Manager.
