The World Summit Award (WSA) is a global activity to select and promote the world's best e-Content and most innovative ICT applications. It offers a worldwide platform for all who value the creative use of ICTs and who are committed to making today’s information society more inclusive. WSA Mobile is a special contest to identify the best mobile contents.

WSA Finland is the competition to choose the Finnish nominees for WSA and WSA Mobile. Anyone can nominate their favourites at www.mindtrek.org/wsa by September 5th, 2010. The WSA Finland Awards Ceremony will be at MindTrek Conference, Tampere, October 7th, 2010.

WSA was initiated in 2003 in the framework of the United Nations' World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and is organised by a global partner network, coordinated by the International Centre for New Media. WSA partners come from governments, private sector and civil society in over 160 UN member states.

Finland has two winners of WSA; Habbo Hotel by Sulake in 2003 and Wreck a Movie by Energia in 2009, both in the Entertainment category.

The nominations in each country are made by a Eminent National Expert. Cai Melakoski, Head of Media Programme at Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK), is the Finnish expert. WSA Finland is arranged by MindTrek and TAMK.
