Ars Electronic Community Prizes
Posted by Clay Shirky
Ars Electronica featured prizes for digital community for the first time this year. (Nice to see several wiki projects; surprising to see so many sites focussed on health issues.) The two winners are:
*Wikipedia (USA)* www.wikipedia.org
"Wikipedia" is an online encyclopedia that all Internet users can collaborate on by writing and submitting new articles or improving existing ones.
*The World Starts With Me (Niederlande / Uganda)* http://www.theworldstarts.org
"The World Starts With Me" is a sex education and AIDS prevention project that simultaneously gives young Ugandans the opportunity to acquire Internet and computer skills.
Awards of distinction went to:
* dol2day - democracy online (Deutschland): http://www.dol2day.de
