IADAS, which nominates and selects The Webby Award Winners, comprises Internet industry experts including Marian Croak, VP of Engineering – Responsible AI & Human Centered Technology, Google; Sarah Harden, CEO, Hello Sunshine; Tobe Nwigwe, Artist & Actor; Shigetaka Kurita, Artist & Father of Emojis; Severin Hacker, Cofounder & CTO, Duolingo; Law Roach, Image Architect; Yann LeCun, VP & Chief AI Scientist, Meta; Roxane Gay, Host, The Roxane Gay Agenda; Quinta Brunson, Writer, Director and Actor; Questlove, DJ and Producer; Todd Kaplan, Chief Marketing Officer, Pepsi Co; Ashley Murphy, VP Global Consumer Marketing, Rare Beauty; Nelly Mensah, VP of Digital Innovation, Global Head of Web3 and Metaverse, LVMH; Jim Habig, Vice President Marketing, LinkedIn; and Tonya Custis, Director of AI Research, Autodesk.

Each December, Sleepopolis hosts 25 Days of Giving, wherein they give away a different mattress for 25 days. In addition to giving away mattresses from the brands you know and love, Sleepopolis also uses this time to give back to the community. Everyone deserves a good night's rest, but not everyone has a safe place they can lay their head down at night. In 2023, they joined forces with their sister site, Sleep Adviser, to donate $50,000 to Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), an organization working to eradicate childhood bed poverty by donating bunk beds to families in need.

"Honorees like Sleepopolis are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet," said Claire Graves, President of The Webby Awards. "It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the 13,000 projects we reviewed this year."

"We are thrilled to share that our diligent give back efforts are being highlighted by the Webby Awards," said Alanna Nuñez, Senior director of content at Sleepopolis. "The 25 Days of Giving campaign is a labor of love and an opportunity to raise awareness about bed poverty. We appreciate the recognition – if this means even one person who might not have been familiar with bed poverty now is, we've accomplished our goal."
