Call for Submissions: World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prizes 2018 Contest

The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) has opened a call for submissions of WSIS related projects to contest for WSIS Prizes 2018. The contest is open to entities representing Governments, Private Sector, International and Regional Institutions, Civil Society and Academia. 

The WSIS 2018 contest was developed to create an effective mechanism to evaluate and recognize individuals, governments, civil society, local, regional and international agencies, research institutions and private-sector companies for outstanding success in implementing development oriented strategies that leverage the power of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as an enabler of the development.

The WSIS 2018 contest serves to identify and showcase the success stories across the WSIS Action Lines defined in the Geneva Plan of Action and Sustainable Development Goals. For more information about WSIS visit http://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/prizes/2017/.
