This hasn't been noted here, so i thought i'd pass on this bit of slightly late news [i've got my nose in the Museums and the Web proceedings production...]

The Science Museum, London, has won both Best Game and Best of Show at SXSW for its game Launchball http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/launchpad/launchball/

See http://2008.sxsw.com/interactive/web_awards/winners/ for the other winners

and see Mike Ellis's blog posting about the development http://electronicmuseum.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/launchball-we-did-it-differently-and-got-it-right/

Way to Go, Guys!

Since 1997 we've run a Best of the Web competition at the Museums and the Web conference. As we begin the run-up for the 2008 competition, i'm wondering what your thoughts are about the usefulness of the BoW.

Is the competition helpful to you? Do you learn something from looking at the results? Are there things about it you would change (like the Categories or the Criteria?)

Let us know what you think! We'll make adjustments to the BoW for 2008 that reflect consensus.

Thanks.
