You heard about it on MummyPages first and now the Life in the Womb app has been nominated for a prestigious Webby Award.
Getting a nod in the Mobile & Apps: Education & Reference category, the pregnancy app is fending off stiff competition from Disney Interactive and Scholastic Learning.
BBC has hailed The Webbys as “the most prestigious award in the world,” with The New York Times referring to a win at the ceremony as the “internet’s highest honour”.
Life in the Womb is a stunning visual guide to pregnancy that explores the week-by-week progress of the developing baby using stunning 3D generated imagery. The app was created by an innovative team of artists, programmers, doctors and writers and offers an entirely new educational experience for expectant parents.
“Nominees like Life in the Womb are setting the standard for innovation and creativity on the Internet," said David-Michel Davies, executive director of The Webby Awards.
"It is an incredible achievement to be selected among the best from the 12,000 entries we received this year."
As a nominee, Life in the Womb is also eligible to win a Webby People’s Voice Award, which is voted for online by fans across the globe. From now until 24th of April, fans of the app can cast their votes here.
Last year, the Annual Webby Awards drew 11,000 entries from over 60 countries, garnering over 2.1 million ballots cast during online voting for the Webby People's Voice Awards.
Winners will be announced on Tuesday, April 29, 2014 and honoured at a star-studded ceremony on Tuesday, May 19, 2014 at Cipriani on Wall Street in New York City.
