Santoro Design Wins a Davey Award for Lynn Music Foundation!

Almost a year out from its initial launch, we’re excited to announce that our branding and website design work for Lynn Music Foundation has won a Silver Award from the Davey Awards! We couldn’t be more stoked about this, especially since, at the time, it was easily the most dynamic and immersive branding we’ve done to date. From an ever-changing logo system representing different genres of music, to a robust, smooth-scrolling web experience made to build up creative communities, we set out to create a presence that was exciting and empowering for Lynn, MA’s aspiring artists. We’ve been more than pleased with the growth the foundation has enjoyed since, and we celebrate this win alongside them.

A huge shout-out to the team over at Squarekicker for helping us take this project to the next level. There were so many things we aspired to do with this website that wouldn’t have been possible without their amazing plug-in, turning any Squarespace website into a creative development playground. From small CSS tweaks to immersive on-scroll Javascript animations, we were able to really put everything to the test with Squarekicker. Thank you guys so much, this win is yours as well.

Reviewing and Awarding

Entries are evaluated by jurors on their own merits based on a standard of excellence as determined by the AIVA, considering the specific criteria for the category entered. A category may have multiple Gold and Silver Winners or may have none. Entries are scored on a ten-point scale by the Jurors. Only around 20% of all entries will be selected as Gold Winners. Other outstanding entries will be Silver Winners. Best in Show selections are made by the Academy, from the pool of Gold Winners, based on their scoring and other elements of merit as determined by the Academy. Thirteen Best in Show honors are awarded, one for each of the Davey Awards’ media types. Visit the Davey Awards Winners Gallery to view all of the Honorees.
