The Webby Awards have a rule. When you win, you get five words. That’s it.

When Prince won a Webby (what amazing company to be in!), he said: “Everything you think is true.” Kim Kardashian said: “Nude selfies until I die.” The Muppets said: “Another Webby bites the dust.” People have proposed, quit their jobs, started beef, declared love, and settled scores in five words in front of a live audience. It is, genuinely, one of the great art forms of our time.

On Tuesday, we decided to adopt the 5-word special with some of our friends in an act of divine manifestation.

But FIRST: today is the last day to vote for Byline in the Webby Awards!!!!! So to that we say: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE VOTE!

VOTE FOR BYLINE

Now. Back to the five words. Here's what was said:

Mackenzie Thomas: It’s actually all the story

Ludwig Hurtado: Everybody wants this…that’s all

Stef Dag: What if I told you…

Rachel Bell: Robert Redford kissing Dustin Hoffman

Brian Park: Not according to my therapist

Maya Kotomori: I guess we’ll never know

Peyton Dix: These five words in my head

Ella Emhoff + Ali Royals: I know what you are. Say it. Out loud. Vampire.

Charlie Rinehart Jones: Head, shoulders, knees, and toes

Mary Neely: I’m not easy, I’m perverted

Megan O’Sullivan: Baby, Scary, Sporty, Ginger, Posh

Gutes Guterman: My real name is Michelle

Alex Hartman: Ginger, lemon, cayenne, full branzino

Ashley Reese: Honestly, impostor syndrome is gendered

Julia Rose Eng: Who even are you people?

Geno Schellenberger: Next round is on Jack

Madeline Montoya: I didn’t wanna speak tonight

Jayson Buford: Hip-hop has always needed Drake

Zach Sokol: Big tobacco, please hire me

Sasha Mutchnik: Every exit is an entrance

Jack Westerkamp: I will always love you

Ruby Thelot: Five words for tell never

Dying to know what 5 words you would go with. We'll keep collecting them.
