2008 NGO Web Awards
29 Sep 2008
We are interested in how organisations are using their websites strategically to meet their objectives. This is not only about the technical and design aspects of the website, but also how, as a tool, it works for development and social justice. The emphasis will be on identifying NGO websites with unique and relevant features in relation to their overall development work.
Issues which will guide the awards selection include usability, accessibility, innovation and content, demonstrating how the website is complementing the core development focus and activities of the organisation.
Deadline: 3 October 2008
Prizes
There are 3 prizes to the value of R10 000 each.
