LibriVox is a finalist in the Stockholm Challenge, an award & conference put on by the City of Stockholm, which:
…features a six category Award for ICT for Development projects. ICT stands for Information and Communication Technologies and the best projects will win the prestigious Stockholm Challenge trophies and receive a 5.000 Euro stipend… An extended program of workshops, conference, study visits and social gatherings will bring together the most inspiring ICT entrepreneurs, researchers and students from all over the world to share experiences and knowledge.
Our friends at Project Gutenberg (maybe you’d like to donate? to them) were kind enough to provide some financial support for travel, so I’ll be attending the event along with LibriVox’s resident philosopher, D.E. Wittkower.
Congratulations!!!
I hope I can hear the news that LibriVox WON THE STOCKHOLM CHALLENGE AWARD soon!!!!!
My prayers are with you, all the LibriVox members.
Again, congratulations!
This is exciting! I discovered LibriVox only a few days ago and I’m amazed at what you are doing. If I were a member of the jury in Stockholm I would give you maximum points for the C-part of the ICT prize: culture.
You’re doing valuable work spreading literature in spoken form, and you deserve a prize for your project.
Greetings from the Netherlands.
