About:
The World Summit Awards (WSA) have been a resounding success for NZ
since 2003. The awards provide the opportunity to shift the focus
from technology, networks and access issues to the actual
applications, the resultant digital content and the visibility of the
applications to a global audience.
The WSA results in a global showcase of 40 outstanding projects, in
eight categories, with a special emphasis on those projects which show
the benefits of information and communication technology for the
development of communities and society at large.
Refer http://www.wsa-awards.org.nz/ for further detail.
For submissions http://www.wsa-awards.org.nz/categories/submissions.html
NZ was enormously successful with the first competition in 2003 with
two projects in the top 40 globally. In 2005 we received two Special
Mentions & again in 2007 NZ supported two winners and was delighted
with three Special Mentions http://www.wsa-awards.org.nz/award/2007_winners.html
These successes were subsequently shown around the world within the
WSA global Roadshow.
The awards are being run again through 2008-09 and we encourage all to
enter.
