HONG KONG, 20 October 2011 – The 2011 Top 10 .hk Website Competition organised by Hong Kong Internet Registration Corporation Limited (HKIRC) has received overwhelming responses since it was opened in end-September. To ensure there is sufficient time for the industry to enroll, HKIRC today announced the deadline for entries will be extended by one week to 4 November (Friday), enabling more outstanding .hk/ .香港 websites to participate in the Competition. Entrants can take advantage of this opportunity to win up to HK$20,000 in cash awards and a series of great promotional opportunities! Simply go to http://www.top10award.hk to submit your application now!
As in the last two years, the 2011 Top 10 ‘.hk’ Website Competition will be divided into two categories: SMEs and not-for-profit organisations (with less than 100 staff), and large corporations and not-for-profit organisations (with 100 or more staff). Through the competition, HKIRC aims at discovering more outstanding websites which can serve as role models within the industry. In addition, to reflect the importance of no-barrier websites in bridging the digital divide, one of the judging criteria this year will include the ‘Web Care’ element. This will commend outstanding websites which cater to the needs of different people by making it easier for them to browse online information without barriers and by promoting the bridging of the digital divide.
About the competition
HKIRC invites both SMEs and not-for-profit organisations with less than 100 staff, and large corporations and non-profit organisations with 100 staff or more, to take part in the competition.

The Gold Prize winner of each category will be awarded HK$20,000 together with a certificate, a trophy and logo exposure on promotional materials.
The application period for the competition runs from today through 4 November 2011. Shortlisted websites will be open for public voting from 10 to 30 November 2011. The results will be announced on 21 December 2011 and the awards presentation ceremony will be held in early 2012.
