The Leonie Dunbar Memorial Award for Community Websites

Community websites are those that are run by, and for, the local community in a geographic area in Australia or New Zealand (such as a suburb or town).  They reflect community interests such as local business, tourism, historical information, culture, sporting groups, local events and news.

Eligible entrants must:

• run a not-for-profit community website for a local area in Australia or New Zealand;
• demonstrate how their community website has made a positive contribution to the local area.

This award is in memory of Leonie Dunbar (1957-2013), who for eight years was the driving force behind auDA's Community Geographic Domain Names (CGDN) initiative.
