The B!G Idea Named Silver Anthem Winner at the 4th Annual Anthem Awards

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that The B!G Idea has won a Silver Anthem Award in the category of Education or Literacy Programme or Platform at the 4th Annual Anthem Awards.

This recognition comes during the most competitive season in the awards’ history. This year alone, organisers received over 2,300 entries from more than 30 countries. In addition, 33,000 fans cast an incredible 47,000 votes in the 2024 Anthem Community Voice Awards.

Therefore, receiving a Silver Anthem Award is not just an achievement — it’s a powerful endorsement of our commitment to innovation, creativity, and meaningful impact in education.


What Are the Anthem Awards?

The Webby Awards launched the Anthem Awards in 2021 to celebrate purpose-driven work around the world. Since then, the awards have recognised individuals, organisations, and companies that drive positive global change. Importantly, they shine a spotlight on work that inspires communities to take meaningful action.

The Anthem Awards honour impact across seven core areas:

  • Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
  • Education
  • Art & Culture
  • Health
  • Human & Civil Rights
  • Humanitarian Action & Services
  • Responsible Technology
  • Sustainability, Environment & Climate

Notably, these categories strongly align with The B!G Idea’s mission to empower young people through creative thinking and real-world problem solving.


A Global Shift Towards Purpose

Over the past two decades, society has experienced a profound shift in values and expectations. Today, people actively consider how their everyday choices affect their communities and the wider world. Whether it’s the food they eat, the brands they support, or the causes they champion, purpose now matters more than ever. At the same time, rapid technological change and growing social movements continue to reshape industries. As a result, consumers expect more accountability and authenticity from organisations.

In response, many companies now prioritise human rights, inclusion, sustainability, and social impact. They no longer focus solely on profit — instead, they strive to build fairer and more responsible futures.


Recognising Real Impact

The Webby Awards recognised this global movement and created the Anthem Awards to celebrate it. Through this platform, they honour brands, organisations, and changemakers who deliver measurable impact both online and offline. Consequently, we feel incredibly proud to stand among such inspiring global leaders.


A Silver Anthem Winner — And Proud of It

Winning Silver in the Education category reinforces the value of creative thinking as a vital skill for today’s world. More importantly, it recognises the thousands of students, teachers, mentors, and partners who bring The B!G Idea to life every year. We are honoured to be part of this purpose-driven global community — and we’re only getting started.

The winners of this year’s Anthem Awards are truly inspiring, and I am honoured to help elevate their impact. At this moment, there is a lot of uncertainty in our world, but the tireless and extraordinary efforts of the Anthem Awards community give us hope that a better tomorrow is possible.

Anthem Awards General Manager, Patricia McLoughlin
