The World Summit Award (WSA) is a global contest for selecting and promoting
the world's best practice examples in e-content and creativity. The
initiative was started in 2003 in the framework of the United Nations' World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and sees bridging the Digital
Divide and the Content Gap as its overall goal. As of today WSA involves
representatives from 168 countries all over the world. Focusing on cultural
identity and diversity, the WSA looks for multimedia projects that
effectively and creatively work with quality contents and digitalize
educational, scientific and cultural heritage.

Every two years the World Summit Award (WSA) organizes an international
competition of creative multimedia content/products from all country experts
according to 8 categories, these categories are:

-  e-Government & Institutions

- e-Health & Environment

- e-Learning & Education

- e-Entertainment & Games

- e-Culture & Heritage

- e-Science & Technology

- e-Business & Commerce

- e-Inclusion & Participation



The WSA contest is open to any university, institution, organization,
individual, company that has created / creates multimedia content in either
online format or offline on CD-ROM that would fit any of the above
categories.

*Please Note the following:*

   - There is no limitation regarding the platform of the applications
   - All products must be complete products and may not be drafts,
   demonstrations or unfinished prototypes.
   - The release year of the product must be 2007 or 2008
   - The producer of the product must have all the copyright permissions for
   pictures, sound, content etc



   - English must be used as the language for the producer and product
   information

   Education, Muranga Road, NAIROBI

*The deadline for all products to reach the Kenya e-Learning Center is 15
January 2009*. It is however advisable to submit the products well in
advance. Once the products are received they will be pre-evaluated before
forwarding to the WSA Headquarters in Austria, where an international grand
jury will examine and select the best products in April 2009.

I would like to encourage all those who have created multimedia products
either in online or CD-ROM format within any subject discipline according to
any of the above 8 categories, to consider participation in this contest and
