ABOUT US
Rapid technical advances in recent years have highlighted the importance of
effective delivery and user-centric solutions. It also means that these
technologies are increasingly more accessible and user friendly. Our new
categories aim to encourage the smaller projects that impact on our lives
alongside the larger, national projects that also have greatly improved
society.
Our
website is as interactive as ever. You can comment on and rate entries, read
our blog or listen to our podcasts. Plus, there will be no fear of missing
the latest updates as you can sign up to our RSS feed.
CATEGORIES
The new, updated categories are:
-
Democracy in action
-
Inform
and educate
-
Community activism
-
Campaign for change
-
Innovation
You can find a description of these, including how they relate to the old
categories at http://www.newstatesman.com/nma/nma2008/categories
The
judges will be looking particularly for evidence of creative implementation
of technology; a willingness to exploit the potential of new media; and an
effort in making content as widely accessible as possible.
