http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/e ... RL_SECTION=201.html

"Digital Opportunities for All: Preparing Students for 21st-Century Skills" is the theme of the 2008 UNESCO King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa Prize for the Use of ICTs in Education.

Funded by the Kingdom of Bahrain, the USD$50,000 prize is divided between two winners. Every year, this prize rewards activities that demonstrate best practice as well as creative use of ICTs to enhance learning, teaching and overall educational performance.

Submissions for candidature must reach UNESCO via the governments of Member States, in consultation with their UNESCO National Commissions, or by international non-governmental organizations which maintain formal relations with the Organization.

The deadline for submissions is 31 August 2008.

Winners will be celebrated at an award ceremony on 14 January 2009 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.
