2024 Winner:
One Minute Park
Created by Elliott Cost
One Minute Park lets you experience what it is like to spend time in a variety of parks and green public spaces around the world. Click the link and you get presented with a full-screen video, which lasts for exactly 60 seconds and which presents a delightfully, perfectly mundane scene filmed in a local park, with all videos submitted by volunteers. That's it—after 60 seconds, the scene shifts to another park somewhere else on the planet. No more, no less, just small, evanescent windows into slices of quiet humanity.
“Tiny Awards feels more like a house—or a small ceremony on top of a hill somewhere. On a summer night. Between the ruins. A handful of flowers. I'm grateful for Kristoffer, Matt and Matt's poetic web energy.”

2024 Multiplayer Awards:
One Million Checkboxes
Created by Nolen Royalty
A temporary project, One Million Checkboxes was a collaborative artwork—and experiment in collective online psychology and community—which allowed internet users across the world to check and uncheck the aforementioned One Million Checkboxes. This saw people from all over the web spend weeks collaborating to write messages, make art, and engage in checkbox-based territorial warfare, in the spirit of projects such as Reddit's The Place, while becoming a viral sensation that saw even the Washington Post take an interest.
“The Tiny Awards show how full (still!) of wonder and whimsy the web can be with a little curation. I'm delighted to be on the page with the other nominees and of course delighted to have won. I hope the awards encourage folks to keep looking for weird stuff on the web (it's out there!!) and maybe even to make something tiny and put it online :)”
