[CMA-L]

Fwd:

Dear All,

The New Media Awards are back for their 10th year!

After 10 years we are still looking for new media technologies that
touch lives. Of course, we have lots of other things to tell you, but
if you would like to make a nomination immediately, rather than read
on, click on the link below:

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.
