The World Summit Awards (WSA) is a unique award system, selecting and promoting local digital innovation with high impact on improving society. It is a non-monetary award system with a focus on sustainable knowledge transfer through a worldwide network. Winners benefit not from a one-time financial reward, but a lifelong partnership and integration.
WSA is also a nomination-based award system. To participate, you need to be nominated by a WSA National Expert as the best national digital application in one of eight categories. The nominations to WSA are possible through national contests and national expert panel selection. Each country can only nominate one project/solution per category.
