In June 2010 'The Specials' travelled to New York to attend the 14th Annual Webby Awards where they picked up both the Webby Award and People's Choice Award for Best Reality. The Webby Awards are also known as the 'Oscars of the web' and so winning 2 was a fantastic achievement!
You can see the rest of the photos from our trip to New York on our Facebook page.
Check out Sam's acceptance speech: it could only be 5 words long!
