I wish there would be a visible award (besides Webby) for content-driven platforms.

Understanding, organizing, and designing platforms with super heavy content is still a large part of our activity at @Dogstudio ( MSI Chicago, Quanta Magazine, The Henry Ford, The Morton Arboretum,...), and we all know this is no FWA or Awwwards material.
At the same time, we also know it's a feat on such a different level to build something great, at scale, for large content ( and even bigger for large corporations). You have to navigate and collaborate with lots of people, during large periods of time, handle politics, etc...
There are thousands of possibilities in terms of creativity, but with a strong need for usability and more than ever, accessibility. Thinking about this as I'm noticing our friends of @AREA_17_ , or @basicagency to name a few are also often the unsung heroes of this situation.
Most existing awards for those platforms are obscure, industry-related, and honestly, ignored by our peers.
