Only one Best of Industry will be given in each category and one Best of Web will be awarded.

Best Interactive Holiday Card Wow. As far as interactive cards go, Akron"s EYEMG-Interactive Media Group should take a bow. It"s nearly pure genius. Animated caricatures of EYEMG staff members tell the story of "A Very EYEMG Christmas," which is jam-packed with digital goodies. Sean Connery plays Santa Claus. A song parody to Britney Spears" "Oops!...I Did it Again" incorporates backup singers and a dance routine. Cameos include former veep Al Gore, President George W. Bush and one-time Van Halen front man David Lee Roth. (Who would have thought those three would ever be mentioned together in the same breath?) And someone speaks the line: "Everything is better with beer." Enough to pique your interest? A CD-ROM links your desktop to very.eyemg.com, where the 10-minute movie is located. Dig a little bit deeper into the site, and you"ll find toy icons that link to more interactive material, including a humorous FAQ, the movie trailer and extra holiday songs sung by staffers in MP3 format. Move over Charlie Brown, "A Very EYEMG Christmas" may just become the next holiday standard. Children's Site Receives National Attention We felt honored recently when Medicine on the Net named the Akron Children's Hospital Web site the "most professional-looking" of all the children's hospital sites and the American Academy of Pediatrics named it "The Best of the Pediatric Internet."
