Hantsweb Awards
Celebrating excellence in website design, accessibility and service
The Hantsweb Awards are run by Hampshire County Council and celebrate website excellence and the best internet services across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. They play a huge role in improving the standard of online services, encouraging good practice and raising awareness of the opportunities that Internet services can offer communities.
The philosophy behind the Hantsweb Awards is that by encouraging and rewarding the best websites and internet services available and by raising their profile and the profile of their services, it is hoped that more people in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight will benefit from going online.

Nominations for the 2009 Awards have now closed, but you can view a list of all shortlisted sites here. The shortlisted websites are currently being assessed by a team of judges with expertise and experience in their chosen field.

Winning websites and services will presented with a Hantsweb Awards trophy and prizes at a special ceremony on 23 February at the Planetarium at Intech in Winchester.
Over the past two years www.iwight.com has not only been shortlisted out of an impressive list of 30-plus nominated sites, but the site has then gone on to the finals and beat off stiff competition in both 2007 and 2008 to win the award for Best Public Service website across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
