SpunOut.ie scoops two national awards!
Blog: More good news for SpunOut.ie.
Hooray for good news in these crazy times. SpunOut.ie has won not one but two prestigious national awards in the last seven days.
First up, we won the Junior Chambers International National Award for Social Entrepreneurship. This award recognises young leaders (under the age of 40!) from throughout Ireland and picks those who are contributing at the very highest level of national development. The winners then go on to the international competition, where they contend against some of the world's leading innovators, movers and shakers.
To add to this great news, just last night we picked up a Net Visionary Award, winning the ‘Social Contribution' category at the 2009 awards ceremony in Dublin.
The awards, operated by the Irish Internet Association with Enterprise Ireland, celebrate the best of the net in Ireland and profile the people and projects that are stirring things up and making things happen in the ever growing internet industry.
SpunOut.ie was chosen based on a national vote by thousands of voters, which was considered by a jury made up of some of the who’s who in the web sector. Thanks to those of you for voted for us and congrats to all the other great winners and nominees.
Your dedicated team of SpunOutters throughout Ireland (staff, management, volunteers, advisors, partners, contributors, friends, allies....) are truly delighted to be recognised for the incredible hard work, dedication, commitment and genuine passion we all inject into SpunOut.ie every day and night of the year.
Seriously, we really do give it our all and want to ensure SpunOut.ie continues to develop as a world class model for youth led social change. We have huge plans for the future including a complete site redevelopment, national media partnerships, advocacy campaigns and international connections.
The future is shining bright for SpunOut.ie. Thank you for your support and please do get in touch if you would like to help us grow and develop in any way. We’re a charitable organisation and need all the support we can get.
Onwards and upwards!
