Morphology

webbie + win

The phrase is a regular composition of an award name + win: if a learner knows 'webbie' as the Webby Award and 'win' as a victory, they can straightforwardly infer 'a victory of a Webby'. The pattern 'X win' (e.g., 'Oscar win') is a common, predictable noun formation across languages, so the overall meaning is transparently derived from its parts, although 'webbie' itself may be unfamiliar as a proper-name/clipping.

Etymology

Webbie win comes from the informal name Webby for a well-known internet award and the verb win. Imagine a team holding a small Webby trophy and getting lots of online praise, so webbie win means 'an instance of winning a Webby Award' today.
