Who is this year’s Game Changer?

The We Media Awards recognize Game Changers: people, projects, ideas and organizations leading change and inspiring a better world through media.

Game Changers lead society to knowledge. They inspire involvement and action through media. They provide example, insight and inspiration for participants from all fields by demonstrating how to navigate and lead the connected society.

You can nominate such achievers here. The deadline is September 15, 2008. The winners will be presented at the We Media conference in Miami in February 2009.

The We Media Award contest is organised by the iFOCOS, a non-profit media think tank and futures lab headquartered in Reston, Virginia, United States. Its mission is to connect individuals and organizations from across industries who believe the power of media, communication and human ingenuity should be applied to innovate in business and to make the world better through media.
