Introducing the Breaking Borders Awards

1/06/2010 11:19:00 AM

(Cross-posted from the Public Policy Blog)
Last year we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. When I visited Berlin last November to participate in a conference entitled Breaking Borders, politicians, policy makers, netizens and journalists all agreed on the importance of freedom of expression for a functioning democracy. The web is providing once unimaginable possibilities for political participation, free exchange of information and democratic movements around the world.

As part of the Berlin conference, we announced a plan to work with an NGO called Global Voices and with Thomson Reuters to establish the Breaking Borders Awards.

The awards will honor outstanding web projects by individuals or groups who have shown courage, energy and resourcefulness in using the Internet to promote freedom of expression, making us aware of diverse political viewpoints and standing up to those who censor information. The winners will be those who are making a real difference. We are delighted to share further details about the awards and invite nominations.

Closing date for submissions is February 15. Details on how to apply and the opportunities to join the award committee can be found on the website.

标红色的句子，紫雨老师的中译版本是（只是简单意译，不求精确）：

这个奖项是要表扬那些杰出的个人或团体之网络项目，表扬他们所表现出的勇气、所投入的精力与智慧，因为他们用互联网来提倡言论自由（表达的自由），让我们可以觉知到更多样化的政治观点，并且敢于对那些审查信息的有关当局挺身而出。

这个奖项不是谷歌对多国当权派正面的对峙，却是柔性的自我坚持……这个奖项，会不会酿成『星星之火可以燎原』的连锁效应呢？

你怎么看呢？
