Carstuckgirls.com is a website offering online images and videos of women trying to free their cars from a variety of obstacles, and selling tape and DVD recordings.[1] Carstuckgirls.com has received several nominations and awards for its online imagery.
The site was founded on February 2, 2003, and included pictures of a girl with her car stuck in the mud.[2] Since then, Carstuckgirls.com has expanded to include thousands of images and several full-length videos, and is now owned by Swen Goebbels Videoproduktion.
In 2004, after just over a year of operation, Carstuckgirls.com was nominated for, and won, both the Webby[3] and the People's Voice award at the Webby Awards ceremony. The awards came in the "Weird" category. To win, Carstuckgirls.com had to beat four other nominees.[4] After its win, the website was mentioned in some small blogs and in Wired magazine.[5] There were both favourable and unfavourable reviews.[6]
