De winnaars zijn al bekendgemaakt, maar het feestje moet nog gevierd worden: op 11 november worden in St. Lukes LSO in London alle winnende cases in het zonnetje gezet, net als de Special Achievement Honorees, waaronder Jamie Oliver, Sophie Wilson, rockband Sigur Rós en de Britse YouTube-sensatie Dan Howell.

De International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences (IADAS) selecteerde de winnaars voor de Lovie Awards, die de Europese tegenhanger is van de mondiale Webby Awards. Er werden zoals altijd zowel juryprijzen als publieksprijzen toegekend. 

De Lovie Special Achievement Award-winnaars scharen zich in een rijtje met eerdere winnaars als Vic Hayes (the Dutch 'Father of WiFi'), Stephen Fry en Björk. Het zijn: 

• Lovie Person of the Year: Jamie Oliver. 'Chef, restaurateur and activist, Oliver is named Lovie Person of the Year, for utilising the Web as a key component in his mission to educate the world about healthy and fresh eating.'
• Lovie Lifetime Achievement: Sophie Wilson. 'As the designer of the Acorn Micro­Computer and inventor of the ARM processor instruction set, Wilson's work on processor cores is seen in thousands of products from mobile phones and tablets, to televisions and video games.'
• Lovie Artist of the Year: Sigur Rós. 'One of Iceland's most successful musical exports, and celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, Sigur Rós have harnessed the power of the web to not only deliver music to their fans but share it with the world, from crowdsourcing music videos to Q+A’s with fans on Reddit.'
• The Lovie Internet Video Person of the Year: Dan Howell (Danisnotonfire). 'With over 4 million YouTube subscribers and millions more across his other social networks, Dan Howell is one the most successful video bloggers of the digital age, building his channel totally organically using YouTube.'

Twee andere Special Achievement Awards worden in november gepresenteerd: The Lovie Emerging Entrepreneur Award voor GiveMeTap-oprichter Edwin Broni­Mensah en de Lovie 'Be Greater With Data' Award voor de International Federation of Red Cross en Red Crescent Societies.
