FRIDA Award

The FRIDA Award is presented by the FRIDA Program (Regional Fund for Digital Innovation in Latin America and the Caribbean), an initiative of the Latin America and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry (LACNIC), with the financial support of the International Development Research Center (IDRC) and the Internet Society (ISOC).

From among the more than 60 projects that were submitted, the FRIDA 2012 Award recognized the five initiatives that in recent years have contributed the most to the development of the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean, identifying good practices that can be duplicated and contribute to showcase positive experiences to the region's decision makers. Awards are presented in four different categories, and the "most voted, most creative project" receives a fifth award.

The five winners will receive a cash prize of US$ 3000 and a trip to the Pre-IGF meeting to be held in Bogota towards the end of September as well as to the IGF that will meet on 6- 9 November in Baku, Azerbaijan.
