Open Access to Education is the theme of the 2007 UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa
Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICTS in Education. 
Funded by the Kingdom of Bahrain, the US$50,000 Prize is divided between two
winners. The deadline for submissions is 31 July 2007. 

Launched in 2005, the prize aims to reward the projects and best practices of
individuals, institutions and NGOs in using information and communication
technologies (ICT) to enhance learning, teaching and overall educational
performance. 

Winners will be celebrated at an award ceremony to be held on 19 December 2007
at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. 

Candidatures must be presented by the government of a Member State of UNESCO or
an international non-governmental organization, maintaining formal consultative
relations with UNESCO and active in the relevant fields covered by the Prize.
Each government or international non-governmental organization is entitled to
nominate only two candidates per year. A self-nomination cannot be considered.
