Hmm, I wonder if we can think of any websites to nominate in the
e-culture, e-learning categories? ;-) I haven't checked the website,
but these awards are given in 150 countries, so we have plenty of
opportunities to win a few dozen of them. ;-)
Maybe there is a global category.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to announce the official opening of the World Summit Awards USA
competition. The official digital content competition of the UN's World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), which will take place in Tunis
this November, the World Summit Awards will hold competitions in more
than 150 countries around the globe. I'm serving as coordinator of the
USA competition.
We're seeking nominations for the best websites (including blogs) and
CD-ROMs from the USA in the following categories:
e-business
e-culture
e-entertainment
e-government
e-health
e-inclusion
e-learning
e-science
I've assembled a team of more than a dozen volunteers representing a
range of expertise in digital content. We will review the nominations
and select a winner in each category; the winner will then represent the
USA in the international competition.
