Don't miss your chance to enter the 2007 national IT volunteering awards and win £250. Nominations close on October 6th.
http://www.it4communities.org.uk/it4c/home/Awards2007/awards.jsp
Do you have an IT project that has been developed with the help of IT volunteers that deserves a reward?
Or does a volunteer provide your IT support and deserve an award as recognition?
To apply fill in a short form for your chosen category (you can use the same project/volunteer and nominate in all relevant categories).
This year there are 4 award categories, each offering the opportunity to win £250 for your organisation, a trophy for the volunteer and publicity on our website and in national press.
The categories are:
- Innovation - if you and your volunteer have found an innovative approach to using technology. It might be using your website or text messages or just working better with your remote workers. If it is new and improved your way of working then we would consider that innovative! See last year's winners at: http://www.it4communities.org.uk/it4c/home/AwardsC/innovation.jsp
- Impact - if you and your volunteer have found a way to use computers or the Internet to improve the way you work that has had a positive impact on your organisation or your clients then you might consider entering this category. See last year's winners at: http://www.it4communities.org.uk/it4c/home/AwardsC/impact.jsp
- Accessibility - if you have worked with an IT volunteer to make your service more accessible to all. May be you and a volunteer have re-designed your website so that it is DDA compliant or if a volunteer has helped you set up your computers to be more accessible then this could be an appropriate category for you. Last year's winners: http://www.it4communities.org.uk/it4c/home/AwardsC/accessbility.jsp
- Best IT Volunteer - an opportunity for you to thank your IT volunteer for all their hard work!
You can submit your project in one or all categories.
