SINGAPORE: CNA won a total of nine awards – five gold and four silver – for its content, website and app at the 2025 w3 Awards.
The w3 Awards celebrates excellence in websites, online marketing, web videos, mobile sites and apps, social media, podcasts, and emerging technologies created by digital content producers worldwide. Winning entries are selected by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts, an invitation-only body of leading professionals in digital marketing and the creative industries.
Five of the awards went to CNA podcasts, with CNA Correspondent, Destination Anywhere and Money Talks bagging golds, and Work It and a two-part special on the 20th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami receiving silvers.
CNA also took home two awards for its web videos – gold for "Living in the last Kampung in mainland Singapore" and silver for "The 'mushroom hunters' helping to discover rare species of fungi in Singapore".
Its other two awards, both silvers, went to its website and app, and to its CNA Explains video series.
Two other products from CNA's parent company Mediacorp also received awards. Mediacorp's Chinese digital portal 8world.com won a gold for its video "Lights, Explained: How do streetlights work in Singapore" and a silver for its video series on the centenary of the Singapore–Johor Causeway.
