TSSG on the shortlist for Digital Media Award

In late 2004 the TSSG's demonstration of a Smart Environment: Home of the Future in the Digital Hub was submitted as an entry for a Digital Media Award in the category of "Digital Media Innovation: Business to Consumer." and is now one of the finalists shortlisted for the award (out of 21 entries for this particular category). Others groups shortlisted include the BBC (Big Yellow Bus), Riverdeep (Elearning), Revenue Commissioners, Primary Music, and Textus. This shortlist is at available here

The objective of the event is to raise awareness of the emerging digital media sector in Ireland and more importantly to act as a showcase for the many pieces of dynamic work being created by companies and third level institutions across a broad spectrum of categories.

In 2004 there were 330 entries, with an attendance on the night of 720. Many industries were present, including HP, O2, Nokia, Microsoft, Vodafone, Apple, as well as an increased number of SMEs operating in the digital media space. The main sponsors of the event were O2, Nokia, HP, Memorex Telex and the Department of Communications.

The event is Black Tie and is happening on the 5th of February in the Burlington Hotel and will be hosted by Dave Fanning.
