This Year and Beyond
Not only is NZ participating in submitting 8 entrants in 2007, we are planning an exciting showcase / exhibition in mid 2008 of the top 40 applications from around the World. Alongside the WSA Showcase it is planned to include the NZ submissions, the New Zealand winners and Special Mentions from past years as well as a selection of NZ projects that will promote and give visibility to the NZ Digital and Content Strategies.

The showcase will seek to engage with a broad cross-sector audience by showing new media practice outside the parameters of just the ICT world. The philosophy of the WSA makes it the perfect vehicle to encourage and demonstrate digital content in a comprehensive way. This is very much a first for NZ.
