30 Jun Telecentre Europe Awards 2016: Apply now and win a trip to Ghent!
30 Jun, 2016
Telecentre Europe has established the Telecentre Europe Awards to recognise the achievements of individuals and organisations across Europe that enable people to get to grips with technology.
Thousands of individuals and hundreds of organisations around Europe work daily with communities to empower citizens through technology and the Internet: from teaching digital literacy and online safety to carrying out transactions with government and boosting entrepreneurship, from supporting young people’s employability to uniting different stakeholders for ensuring digital inclusion.
Telecentre Europe Awards acknowledge their innovation, dedication and the inspiring role they play to many people.
In 2016, Telecentre Europe Awards will recognise individuals and organisations in four different categories:
- Best E-Facilitator (individual) – find out more and apply
- Best Digital Changemaker (individual) – find out more and apply
- Best Practice (organisation) – find out more and apply
- Best Multi-Stakeholder Partnership (organisation) – find out more and apply

The three finalists in each category will be invited to attend the Telecentre Europe Annual Conference organised in Ghent, Belgium, on 6-8th October 2016.
All finalists will be entitled to FREE accommodation (1 person for 2 nights). Award winners (one in each category) will also have their travel expenses covered by Telecentre Europe.
The Awards ceremony will be held in Ghent, Belgium on the evening of the 7th October 2016 in the beautiful Ghent City Hall.
All finalists will receive certificates and gadget prizes and will have the opportunity to present their initiatives to an audience of 150 participants.

Nominations must be completed in English and submitted through online forms, indicated in each category description.
