What is WSA?

The World Summit Award (WSA) is the global contest to select the best practice in e-Content. The contest shows that new media keeps the promise and can contribute to a better world. It increases public awareness for ingenious content ideas and applications with a twist, thus assisting in marketing high-quality multimedia products.
e-Content products or ICT application are entered in the WSA via national contests. The national winners in the eight WSA – Albania and Kosovo categories are submitted by the Eminent Expert from Albania, Mr. Dritan Mezini who will conduct a national selection process in order to select in an objective and fair manner the best from Albania and Kosovo.
