The Hantsweb Awards celebrate excellence in website design, accessibility and service. the awards are open to any website based in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and Shin Gi Tai has been nominated in several categories. the finalists will be announced in January 2010.

The Hantsweb Awards is a unique and prestigious event that promotes and provides recognition of excellence and innovation in website design, accessibility and web services. the Awards are open to any website or web service that is based in, or serves, the residents of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Since 2002 Hampshire County Council has organised the Awards to improve the standard of online services, encourage good practice, reward innovation and raise awareness of the opportunities the web presents for communities. Over the years they have highlighted the best in online services to local communities as well as benefiting the interests of all those who have participated.
We hope that by encouraging, rewarding and raising the profile of the best websites and web services available in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, that these services will improve and lead to more people being able to benefit by going online.
Nominations for the awards are assessed by judges with expertise and experience in their chosen field. Overall they look for good practice, accessibility, ease of use, relevance, and of course, great design.
Winning websites and services are presented with a special Hantsweb Awards trophy and prizes at a VIP ceremony. in the past this has been held at the Theatre Royal Winchester, Southampton Football Stadium and the Planetarium at Intech in Winchester.
