ICT Stories Competition 2003 - Tony Zeitoun Award: Now open to enter you
story!

Have you been working on a project that uses Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) as a tool for achieving development?
Then this is an opportunity for you to share your experiences with the
world!

In almost all projects up-to-date knowledge about Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) is crucial, but resources and access
to this knowledge are often limited. Moreover, in most projects there is
neither time nor money to carefully compare the various options
available. In such situations, the experiences of others facing the same
problems become invaluable.

Opportunities to learn from one's own experiences and to share the
experiences with others are an important means to strengthen respective
knowledge bases. Others find inspiration and can learn from those
successes and mistakes, without having to start a new project from
scratch, not knowing what others already know about the inherent risks
and costs, as well as about possible approaches to manage them.

Knowledge is generated throughout the entire course of a project. The
ICT Stories objective is to capture the learning process that
accompanies the introduction and implementation of ICTs in a project in
exemplary stories. Most Stories applicants have had to struggle to go
through hurdles and a lot of ups and downs for their projects to happen,
and their stories become vehicles to share such knowledge. These stories
describe good practices and lessons learned from contributors'
experiences.

Enter the competition to win.

Based on a set of criteria three winning stories will be selected by a
renowned jury. The writers of these stories will be given the
opportunity to travel to Switzerland to present their findings at the
ICT4D platform at the WSIS!

Please visit our website for more information and the submission form.
The deadline to submit your story is September 26, 2003.

Good luck in the competition!
