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.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
