ABOUT

Eighth edition of the contest

The WSIS Prizes contest was developed in response to requests from the WSIS
stakeholders to create an effective mechanism to evaluate projects and
activities that leverage the power of information and communication technologies
(ICTs) to advance sustainable development. Since its inception, the contest of
WSIS Prizes has attracted more than 300,000 stakeholders.

Following the outcomes of the United Nations General Assembly Overall Review on
WSIS (Res. A/70/125) that called for a close alignment between the WSIS Process
and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (Res. A/70/1), the WSIS Prizes
is the unique global platform to identify and showcase success stories in the
implementation of the WSIS Action Lines and SDGs.
