Bristol Competes for Honours in the NOMINET Best Practice Challenge
July 7, 2008 Posted by Stephen Hilton in : e-democracy, Bristol, Bristol City Council, Innovation, News, Awards, Connecting Bristol , trackbackYou can wait a lifetime to be nominated for an award… and then two come along at the same time.
The NOMINET Best Practice Challenge is a competition that recognises British organisations, groups or individuals who have embraced the challenge of making the Internet a secure, open, accessible or diverse experience for all.
Connecting Bristol and Bristol City Council’s e-Democracy site, AskBristol are both on the NOMINET shortlist in the Open Internet category.
The competition will be tough with both mySociety’s Petition Downing Street site and the Open University’s Open Learn competing for honours in the same category. But the team will be there on Wednesday evening to hear the results. Wish us luck!

Bristol would like to congratulate YouthNet - the winner of NOMINET's Open Internet Award.
www.do-it.org.uk is owned and run by online charity YouthNet, it is the UK's volunteering resource, that includes over 850,000 volunteering opportunities from major charities, such as the National Trust and Oxfam, and local voluntary and public sector organisations. The judges praised the way that this project takes access to the Internet to another level and connects people who need help with people who want to help them.
Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the kind words about do-it.org.uk. We think your vision for a connected Bristol is fantastic as well, and we’ll be watching Bristol’s development as a digital inclusion showcase in years to come.
Tash, Marketing Manager, YouthNet
