In particular, Childnet will be judging the ‘Empowering young people & citizens’ category, looking for entrants that have engaged with young people on internet issues and well as ensuring that citizens’ voices are heard

CEO Will Gardner said:

“As a previous Nominet Internet Award winner, this year we are really pleased to be working in association with Nominet on this particular award designed at recognizing those empowering young people and citizens. We are active on a daily basis in schools working to empower children, young people, teachers, parents and carers and to equip them with the knowledge how they can protect themselves online, making the most out of their internet experience. We look to promote the voice of youth in all our work, and this is an exciting opportunity to look and showcase the different activities going on in the UK that are empowering people online.”
