The winners of the competition will attend the week-long Academy in Jamaica next Easter, where they will be provided with Web support, technical advice and leadership training from a team of Internet experts. The joint initiative, run by children's Internet charity Childnet International and Cable & Wireless (cw.com), is intended to celebrate the creativity of young people who are developing exciting online projects that have a positive effect on other young people worldwide.
Young people who have limited access to technology but who have a "new idea" for the Internet can enter the competition's New to the Net category. Entries are also being invited for the competition's Individual & Schools categories.
In addition to the Jamaica trip, winners will also receive a share of a special £30,000 Web development prize fund, which has been established by Cable & Wireless to help participants develop their own Web sites.
