I love animated GIFs. I make them as part of my work here in Sploid, I drool when we see one that is a perfect infinite loop, and I think it’s a great medium to tell stories. That’s why I like the GIFYS. An award show devoted to honour the best animated GIFs on the internet.
This is how it works: People send their GIFs to Giphy.com, a panel of judges picks their favourites from the different categories and then the internet vote the winners. The first edition was held in March 2014, you can see the winners here.
