Here’s how it works:

The competition is open to anyone attending Socitm 2008

Judges are Richard Steel, President, Socitm; Ken Boxhall, chair, Socitm events committee; and Rob McCarthy, Managing Director, GOSS Interactive. The judges’ decisions will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Winners will be announced on http://www.socitm.gov.uk/ and http://www.socitmweb2.net/ during w/c 27 October

The four prizes are:

Socitm and GOSS will use images and publish winners names and organisations on its websites and via its other communications channels

Get involved……!

To upload pictures or comment on other people’s you’ll need to sign up with Flickr and join the Socitm 2008 space (its really easy). Then you just follow the instructions (there may be a short delay before your picture is added due to Flickr account moderation).

PCs and internet connections are available in the delegate work area.

Web 2.0 content rich functionality, that can enhance citizen engagement, is provided as standard with GOSS Interactive’s Web Content Management System – iCM.
