The Information Society Innovation Fund (ISIF) Award 2011 seeks to
acknowledge the important contributions ICT innovators have made with
creative solutions to the social and economic development of the Asia
Pacific (AP) region.

With this award, ISIF aims to summarize the last three years' cycle of
projects before it launches a revised framework for the provision of
small grants in 2012. The new framework will focus on issues
pertaining to the future of the Internet in the region.

As the ISIF Secretariat, APNIC invites those who have made a
significant contribution to the role of the Internet in social and
economic development within their local communities to apply for this
award.

ISIF will accept nominations for projects developed since 2008 that
address one or more of the following categories:

    - Innovation and access provision
    - Localization and capacity building
    - Mobile services and applications
    - Rights and freedom

The award package comprises a cash prize of AUD 7,500 to support the
continuation of the project or organization conducting the activities
and a travel grant for a project representative to participate at the
Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Nairobi, Kenya. Any initiative
developed since 2008 that has significantly contributed to the role of
the Internet in social and economic development may be nominated for
the ISIF Award 2011.

Nominations are open until 5 August 2011.
