Dear Colleagues, The FIRE Programme Awards acknowledge the
remarkable contributions ICT innovators have made to their
communities by addressing social and development challenges
using the Internet.
The FIRE programme Awards is granted to initiatives already completed or in their final implementation phase and that are aligned with the three funding categories:
In addition to selecting a winner per category, we have a Community Choice Award category for the best social media campaign (the project with the highest number of votes from the community). This year the community Choice Award for the project with the best social media campaign was not allocated. This year, the FIRE 2013 Award did not recognise an initiative promoting Freedom of _expression_. They will both be back in 2014. The FIRE 2013 Award has thus decided to reward a fourth (4) outstanding project under the following categories: Category: Innovation on Access Provision
Category: Development
The four (4) winners will receive a cash prize of US$ 3000 and a travel grant to attend the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) taking place in Bali (Indonesia) from the 22nd until the 25th of October 2013. The 2013 Awardees will be given a great opportunity to showcase their project, make professional contacts and participate in discussions about the future of the Internet. Please click
