Introducing the Nominet Internet Awards 2014

Nominations are now closed

Nominet, the company best known for running the .uk internet infrastructure, is calling for entries to the Nominet Internet Awards 2014.

Now in its eighth year, the awards celebrate the best Britain has to offer online, open to businesses, charities, individuals, and public and private sector organisations. The awards highlight those who drive change, do good, foster economic growth and contribute to the overall success of the UK internet.

An independent panel of judges will select winners in five categories:

Innovative internet business
Online skills and training
Making the internet a safer place
Doing good online
Digital innovation in public services

The closing date for entries is Friday 2 May 2014. Finalists will be invited to attend the Nominet Internet Awards evening, a black-tie event, and category winners will be profiled on our Guardian Media Network partner zone.

"We want to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit of the organisations and individuals using the internet in dynamic and inventive ways," Nominet CEO Lesley Cowley said. "Whether they help a small community get online or make an impact on a national scale, we look forward to receiving this year's entries and being inspired by the great things they've achieved."

Previous winners range from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, developers of the single-board Raspberry Pi computer used to promote computer science in schools, to Oii My Size, a youth-led project that raises awareness of how teenage boys should approach and speak to girls with respect.

For more information, including how to enter, please visit our awards site.
