Are you or your partners using the Internet to promote social causes in Asia? Could you use several thousand dollars to help move your cause forward? If so, the Information Society Innovation Fund (ISIF Asia) may be looking for you to be a part of the 2013 ISIF Asia Awards.
The awards are currently in their nomination phase and will recognize five innovative projects that used the Internet as a social development tool to promote access, openness, inclusion, and human rights. Winners will be awarded AUD 3,000 to support continuation of their project plus a travel grant to attend the awards ceremony at the 8th Internet Governance Forum in Bali, Indonesia in October 2013. Here they will have the opportunity to promote their work and raise their points of view in one of the most relevant forums where the future of the Internet is discussed.
Nominations are open through 15 May 2013, so submit your nominations today.
