The World Summit Award (WSA) is a global contest for selecting and promoting the world’s best practice examples in e-content and creativity. The initiative was started in 2003 in the framework of the United Nations’ World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and sees bridging the Digital Divide and the Content Gap as its overall goal. As of today WSA involves representatives from 168 countries all over the world.

Through national pre-selections and contests and a global jury process, WSA demonstrates the local diversity and rich creativity of ICT use. WSA is a global hub for everyone who values the crucial importance of local content to make today’s information society more inclusive.
