We're happy to share that two Clay projects, Vantara and Art Bridges, have been named winners at the 6th Annual Anthem Awards in the Web Design & UX, Education, Art & Culture category.

Vantara received a Bronze Anthem Award, while Art Bridges took home Silver.

Presented by The Webby Awards, the Anthem Awards recognize organizations, brands, and individuals making a positive impact around the world. This year, the competition received more than 2,500 submissions from over 40 countries, making the recognition especially meaningful.

While Vantara and Art Bridges have very different missions, both projects gave our team the opportunity to use design and technology to make important work more accessible to a wider audience.

Vantara

Vantara is a large-scale wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and conservation center in Jamnagar, India. Its work spans animal welfare, scientific research, and education, bringing together specialists dedicated to protecting wildlife.

Our challenge was to translate the scale of Vantara's mission into an engaging digital experience.

We designed and developed a website that combines visual storytelling with interactive 3D maps, allowing visitors to explore the center's habitats, infrastructure, and research areas. We built the experience to make complex information approachable while highlighting the people, science, and care behind the initiative.

Beyond introducing Vantara to a global audience, the website serves as a resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in wildlife conservation.

Art Bridges

Founded by Alice Walton, Art Bridges is a nonprofit foundation working to expand access to American art through partnerships with museums and cultural institutions across the United States.

For this project, we redesigned the foundation's website to make its collection, programs, and growing network of museum partners easier to discover.

The design draws inspiration from the art gallery experience, with artwork taking center stage. We introduced searchable collections, dedicated program pages, and an interactive map of partner museums to help visitors navigate everything the foundation offers.

The result is a more intuitive, engaging platform that supports Art Bridges' mission to bring American art to communities nationwide.

Being named a finalist at the Anthem Awards is a meaningful milestone for both projects and everyone involved in bringing them to life.

For our team, it's particularly rewarding to see work created for organizations like Vantara and Art Bridges recognized alongside other initiatives making a difference around the world.

We're grateful to both teams for trusting us with their vision and giving us the opportunity to contribute to their missions.

Congratulations to everyone involved, and to all the winners of the 2026 Anthem Awards!
