Finalists announced for Internet Awards

Finalists announced for the Australia and New Zealand Internet Awards

Australia and New Zealand’s leading contributors to the use and development of the Internet have been recognised, with 28 finalists announced in Melbourne last week for the 2014 ANZIAs (Australia and New Zealand Internet Awards - seewww.internetawards.org.au).

"I am pleased to see New Zealand finalists in two of the categories - RealMe in the Security and Online Safety category, and Ziln in the Innovation category. It is a tough competition, but I wish these Kiwi entries well in what looks like a tough competition with an amazing array of entries," says Jordan Carter, InternetNZ Chief Executive.
