The awards scheme, run by AOL UK and the national charity Citizens Online, has begun again. It offers 30 award packages of £2,000 plus one years complimentary broadband in support of innovative Internet projects in the voluntary sector:
Since the awards scheme began in 2003, AOL UK and Citizens Online have supported 90 initiatives across the nation, from a broadband magic carpet for pre-school children in Liverpool to an online recycling programme in East London; a Web-based art exhibition by homeless young people in Glasgow to a mobile internet unit at a Scarborough hospice.
Representatives of organisations interested in applying for an AOL Innovation in the Community Award can find full details of the scheme and download an application form at http://www.aol.com/innovation . Alternatively, they can request an application pack by emailing ukinnovation@aol.com or calling the awards hotline on 020 7348 8390.
The closing date for the applications is 10 May 2006 and a judging panel will select the 30 award recipients in June. AOL UK and Citizens Online will host an awards ceremony for the 30 winning organisations in London in Autumn 2006.
