A team that includes three graduates from Minnesota State University Moorhead has won a 2010 Webby Award and a Webby People's Voice Award.
Bridget Charon, Andrew Charon and Barrett Haroldson worked on the popular YearbookYourself.com website. The site, which allows users to insert their own faces into old yearbook photos, earned both the critical and popular nods in the Webby's "Best Use of Social Media" category.
The site was developed as a promotional device by Colle+McVoy advertising agency in Minneapolis. Colle+McVoy employs Charon, Charon and Haroldson.
The Webby Awards have been described as the Internet's highest honor.
Yearbookyourself.com site is not currently available, but Andrew Charon has said it will be back up again.
