  "The World Summit on the Information Society offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of the information society so that all people can enjoy these benefits... It can help us to better understand just how the information revolution is transforming our societies. Most of all, it provides a platform for developing a shared vision of ways to create a truly inclusive information society that serves and empowers all people."

Bridging the Global Digital Divide - June 19, 2003

         
Charles Geiger        
Executive Secretary Of the organizing Commitee WSIS
         
  Bridging the digital divide and building the edifice of a global, development-oriented Information Society is dependent on the quality of information and knowledge that can be made available to all. The World Summit Award, held within the framework of the World Summit on the Information Society, demonstrates the cutting edge in harnessing the vast potential of the digital revolution in the service of humanity. It is my fervent hope that this collaboration with WSA in bringing to the forefront the finest examples of e-content and showcasing best practices from around the world will go a long way in providing comprehensive shape to the vision enunciated in Geneva and pave the road ahead to Tunis and beyond.

         
Adama Samassékou
President of the WSIS Preparatory Commitee 2003
         
  "My personal vision is that we can together build, through the World Summit on the Information Society, a new global solidarity founded on a better mutual understanding between peoples and nations, of a shared knowledge society for the future. The World Summit Award will help us make this vision a reality by raising awareness of the enormous creative potential of information and communication technologies and by promoting , by its work, a global evolution from an information society to a shared knowledge society."

Special Ambassador for the WSIS
 
 

“The World Summit on the Information Society is not about: 'How does it work?'. It is about: 'What's the purpose of it?'

That is why the World Summit Award for e-Content and Creativity is essential to the success of this Summit”.
