The judges said

"We were impressed by the winner’s use of all manner of Web tools, utilities and media to help its client reach an audience way in excess of its geographic region. A measure of its success is that the winning site featured in the Daily Telegraph’s top 10 public art sites."

Entrant's description

Liverpool Biennial is known internationally for its contemporary arts festival held every two years in Liverpool. Mando Group were commissioned to deliver a website that would showcase their 2008 festival projects plus raise the profile of the other projects the organisation are involved in on an ongoing basis. A thorough user profiling exercise steered the information architecture and confirmed that integration with Biennial’s YouTube, Flickr and Twitter accounts was needed to communicate to a wider web-savvy audience. The CMS functionality and micro-site builder ensure Biennial can deliver a series of engaging web based projects to support community based projects.
