OurMemoryOf Up for Irish Web Award
One of our own projects that we launched earlier this year, OurMemoryOf.com, is up for an Irish Web Award. In case you didn’t know, OurMemoryOf allows users to create a memorial website for their deceased loved ones with photos, stories and online book of condolence.
It’s the first year of the awards set up by Damien Mulley, following the success of the Irish Blog Awards. We’ve made the long list in the Best New Web Application / Service category and we’ve got some tough competition:
Irish Web Awards
- Pix.ie
- PutPlace
- Locle
- Mortgages and Loans
- Nooked
- BookMeetingRoom.com
- Next Action
- Url.ie
- LouderVoice
- Twitterfone
- Zignals
- eWrite
- Album Shopper
- Edenbee
- PropertySwap.ie
- Poll Daddy
- Decisions For Heroes
There really are some great web apps and services in that list. I think it will be difficult to make the short list with such a competitive category. We’ll just have to wait and see.
I felt a little cheated that I wouldn’t get a chance to judge any of the categories in this years awards as we had a nomination. However, I just read on the awards.ie blog that Damien is doing something quite unique with our category. He’s getting us to judge all the other nominees in our category, which will then be added to the other judges scores before the final short list is announced. A great idea Damien.
Well, I just want to wish everyone the best of luck and looking forward to meeting familiar faces and new ones on the night.
