En Español | Seven AARP projects are up for 2024 Webby awards for excellence on the internet — and we need your votes.
AARP nominees, chosen from among 13,000 entries worldwide, include our in-depth look at nursing home transfer trauma, our video featuring grandma chefs at a New York City restaurant and our latest TikTok series celebrating the “middle-child” generation — Gen X.
Our video featuring Melissa Etheridge, in which the rock icon shares her coming out story, was nominated in the diversity, equity and inclusion category.
Each nominee earns a chance to win a Webby People’s Voice Award based on fan voting. Cast your votes now through Thursday, April 18, using the links below. You may vote once in each category.
- Relocating Nursing Home Residents Can Be Fatal. Is a Wave of ‘Transfer Trauma’ Coming?
- Melissa Etheridge Never Planned to Be a Gay Icon
- Grandmas Run the Kitchen at NYC Restaurant
- When Gen X (Series)
- They Came for the Double Dutch but Stayed for the Sisterhood

An eighth project, the AARP Livability Index, received Webby honors.
Winners will be honored at the 28th annual Webby Awards celebration May 13 in New York City.
