22nd Annual Davey Awards
Unlimited Creativity the AIVA Team Found Unforgettable
The 22nd Annual Davey Awards had our team cheering, gasping and giggling. Phantasticus Pictures slipped inside a billionaire’s secret wildlife rescue for a giant game of cat and mouse, Mediastash got its boots muddy with 12 farm families fighting for the next generation and Buzz & Bloom Media cast seasoned nuts as the stars of a dollhouse soap opera. Explore our personal favorites to watch small shops go wild, dig deep and go nuts.
JOSH’S PICKS
1. Matcha Cartel – Interactive Website by Savannah College of Art and Design
2026 Gold Davey Award – Websites: General – Student
“What an experience. A site that truly tells a story from the header to the footer. I was instantly drawn to this winning piece not only because I have a strong passion for matcha and japanese tea ceremonies, but also because of the vivid creative direction and motion that push the user to uncover more. In the AIVA, we’re really trying to create a platform that honors emerging talent, and this is an amazing view of what students can do!”
