“The 2011 Top 10 .hk Website Competition has received an overwhelming response, hitting a record high this year. Many participating websites include ‘Web Care’ elements which make it easier for people with disabilities to browse online information with minimal barriers. After the first round of assessment, 24 entries were shortlisted for public voting and consideration by our judges. We hope that members of the community will actively take part in public voting to help select the best from among these notable entries,” said Mr. Jonathan Shea, CEO of HKIRC.

Each voter can select up to 5 favourite .hk/.香港 websites from each of the two categories. Hong Kong citizens aged 18 years or above are eligible for online voting.
