Enable Together nominated for the New Statesman New Media Awards 2006 for the Innovation Award
The New Statesman, Britain’s leading political magazine, in association with Atos Origin, the leading IT services company, announces the nomination of Enable Together in their New Media Awards in the category of Innovation. This award will go to the individual or organisation that has best used new media technology to improve public life. Eligible projects include the use of Wi-fi, wireless, GPRS, mobile phone, smart phone, PDA, SMS, smart cards and Bluetooth.
The key themes of this year’s awards are "ingenuity, modernisation and accessibility". They intend to award those who have achieved something of benefit to others, whether in their community or in society at large. Since 1998, these awards have promoted projects that embrace new technology, fresh thinking and creative management in the UK.
“Society has always been promised a great deal by the digital revolution,” says John Kampfner, editor of the New Statesman. “The 2006 New Media Awards will highlight the projects that have really delivered on that promise.”
