Have you been part of a group that has produced an electronic local studies project? Was it funded by local government or the national lottery? Was is launched between January 2015 & June 2016.
If the answer is yes, nominate your project for the electronic category of the Alan Ball Awards.
Projects could include websites, apps, video, animation and some aspects of social media, such as blogs. We are interested in both the quality and usefulness of the content, and also how it engages the reader or user, especially new users.
Winners will be given a certificate and accorded the title of Alan Ball Award winner, which can be used on promotional material. Sadly, there is no trophy or cash prize, but as previous award winners will confirm, it is a prestigious award that is very meaningful within Local History community.
