The Interactive Media Awards “…recognise the highest standards of excellence in website design and development and honour individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievement.” as quoted from their website and it is a worldwide recognised award.

I can’t take all the credit as the Norfolk Constabulary website was a team effort. For those involved on the project, I can honestly say that we’ve put a lot of hard work and love into the website and winning an award like the IMA just makes all that effort worthwhile.

This would be my second IM Award that I have been a part of; my first one was for the Office of Government Commerce website that was constructed in 2007.

Background
When I was asked to co-attend this year’s IoIC Awards 2010 (Institute of Internal Communications) by my client Norfolk Constabulary, I was overjoyed. The IoIC Awards, which was known as the CiB Awards, is a yearly event whereby awards are given for recognition for outstanding work for internal communications.

Norfolk Constabulary was nominated in the Online News category for their internal video podcast ‘MAST News’. MAST News is an internally produced podcast that delivers a mixture of good news stories covering the work of officers and staff. It wasn’t until March 2010 that the MAST News went external via the Norfolk Constabulary website, YouTube and Apple iTunes Store.

My initial role on the project was to deliver the MAST News on the Constabulary’s Intranet within a certain bandwidth limit, whilst keeping the quality and size of the video good enough so it gives a pleasurable experience to all.

Unfortunately we didn’t win that night, but coming runner up in a recognised national award is a great achievement for the team.

Maybe next year…
