Pioneering digital product studio, Format-3 [1], has been recognised by the prestigious Webby Awards [2] in the category of Best Websites and Mobile Sites in Television, Film and Streaming for its unique approach to building digital experiences.

Established in January 2023, Format-3 has achieved impressive growth since inception and prides itself on working in partnership with organisations to design and build digital experiences where craft, clarity and intent are not diluted by conventional systems and processes.

Serving as a major benchmark for digital creativity and success, the awards are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS) with winners deemed the very best in digital creativity.

Recognised for its work with The Pendragon Cycle, winning a Webby Award represents a defining moment for Format-3. Designed as an immersive digital experience, the project moves beyond traditional website conventions, treating interaction as narrative and interface as a medium for storytelling. Officially launched in December 2025, every detail of the project, from structure to motion, was shaped to create a cohesive and intentional experience.

Hardy Sidhu, Founder and CEO of Format-3, confirmed: "Winning a Webby Award in such a competitive category, spanning television, film, and streaming, places our work with The Pendragon Cycle alongside some of the most ambitious digital experiences produced globally.

It's an incredibly proud moment for the entire Format-3 team, where the significance extends beyond the award itself. For us, it reinforces a belief that the future of agency is not defined by size, but by focus. Not by layers, but by clarity. Not by process alone, but by the quality of thinking and execution behind the work. This moment stands as proof that a different model cannot only compete at the highest level, but lead, and is something I am incredibly proud of."

Headquartered in London, Format-3 boasts an impressive portfolio of clients, including Alpiq, Weir Group, and Euronet.

Winners of the 2026 Webby Awards will be celebrated at a special 30th anniversary ceremony hosted by Emmy-nominated stand-up comedian, creator, and The Daily Show correspondent, Josh Johnson, on 11th May 2026 in New York City. Those in receipt of awards include household names Apple Pay, Google Gemini, LEGO®, Sabrina Carpenter and Kendrick Lamar & SZA - Luther, just to name a few.
