A website innovation competition run by a Bath company is attracting entries from across the world. Applications for Deep Blue Sky’s Web Innovation Awards have come in from as far afield as South Africa, the United States and Australia.
Individuals and businesses from across the globe are vying to win a prize for the most innovative idea for the web. The winner will receive Pounds 10,000 worth of the latest web design and hosting.
The awards, which opened for entries in February, are the brainchild of Deep Blue Sky’s managing director, Jim Morrison, who wanted to promote and stimulate innovation on the internet. The company itself is no stranger to quirky innovation: in 2008 it launched www.cheddarvision.tv – a website which drew nearly two million visitors wanting to catch a glimpse of a block of cheese maturing at a West Country farm.
The Web Innovation Awards are open to any individual or organisation with an original idea.
Mr Morrison said: “We wanted to do something that would break down some boundaries and allow people to think in an open way about what they would like to see on the net
