The EPPY Awards are a premier accolade for media-affiliated websites, presented by Editor & Publisher magazine.[1] Designed in 1996 to honor newspaper companies that did an "outstanding job in creating online services," the awards were originally given in partnership between Mediaweek and Editor & Publisher and named the Best Online Newspaper Services Competition,[2] and presented at the end of the Interactive Newspaper Conference.[3]

In 1998, the awards were renamed The EPPY Awards.[3][4] and in 2003 the awards were expanded to recognize websites associated with other media outlets, as well as newspapers.[5]

From 2003 to 2009, Mediaweek co-sponsored the (renamed) Interactive Media Conference & Trade Show, and both the awards and conference were moved from February to May. Beginning in 2011, the EPPY Awards moved online and is now totally run and owned by Editor & Publisher Magazine.

Today Editor & Publisher Magazine is owned by the Curated Experiences Group with industry consultant Mike Blinder as Publisher.[6]

In 2020 there were over 450 entries resulting in 50 first place winners that included: BostonGlobe.com for Best Daily Newspaper Website with more than 1 million unique visitors, The Vineyard Gazette for Best Weekly or Non-Daily Newspaper Website with less than 1 million unique monthly visitors, CNN for Best Online News Website with more than 1 million unique visitors and Baylor University for Best College Campus Website.[7]
