The World’s Best e-Contents
World summit Award
The World Summit Award (WSA) is a global activity to select and promote the world’s best e-Content and most innovative ICT applications. It offers a worldwide platform for all who value the creative use of ICTs and who are committed to making today’s information society more inclusive.
WSA is based on a unique mechanism of a global contest supported by national selections of best practice and a sequence of content-focused national and international events, content conferences and promotional exhibitions.
WSA was initiated by Austria in 2003 in the framework of the United Nations‘ World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and is organised by a global partner network, coordinated by the International Center for New Media. WSA partners come from governments, private sector and civil society in over 160 UN member states.
WSA implements the UN agenda for the development of the information society and supports specifically the UN Millennium Development Goals of ending poverty, hunger and disease, providing education for all, saving the environment and giving a fair share to women through the use of ICTs.
In theory this could be important for Peace but Peace seams to be no category. Altough:
„Entries in the WSA award have to respect in their contents and user interaction
- the UN Declaration on Human Rights.
- Submissions therefore which encourage war, the exercise of violence, fraud, racism or discrimination will not be accepted and eliminated from the jury processs.
- Similarly, submissions which violate international copyright provisions will be exculded from the jury process.“
