Seven award winning projects highlight some of our best work from the past year. We marked a 10 year milestone by remembering 9/11/01, revealed the Earth's deepest point with James Cameron, went trick or treating with a founding father and role played aboard the Titanic while bringing home the gold from the 2012 W3 Awards. With one best in show, four gold awards and three silver awards the NeoPangea society are grateful, proud and excited for what the 2013 W3's may hold.
