We are pleased to announce Candyspace’s transformation of the ITV Hub has been nominated for Best OTT Service - Apps and Software in the 2022 International Webby Awards.

The Webby Award nomination demonstrates the huge strides ITV and Candyspace have made to position the ITV Hub as a central destination for digital content consumption across devices.
