I’m shortlisted for DiMAS Freelancer of the year award!
UPDATE: No, I didn’t win. But, being shortlisted out of 3 nominees for the whole South of England is fine by me. Not bad considering I’ve been in Brighton for only 1.6 years!
The award night was great, you can see my pics on Flickr, or my videos on YouTube of the actual awards ceremony. Kudos to Plugin Media for their great application of glowsticks, and my congratulations to the eventual Farm Freelancer of the Year award winner, Bevan Stephens. See Bevan’s winning site here.
Ecstatic is an understatement!
I’ve just been confirmed as a shortlisted candidate for the Digital Media Awards: South ‘Freelancer of the year award‘, with the actual award ceremony (and judging) to take place here in Brighton on November 27th.
The Farm Freelancer Award is sponsored by FreelanceAdvisor.co.uk, an online resource for freelancers. It offers every hint and tip to help you thrive not just survive, including podcast interviews with professionals from all industries who have been there and done it.
The award will be judged by members of the Farm, the Brighton-based networking group for web designers, developers and people with related new media skills. They will be looking for examples of innovation, technical and creative skills, business success and the ability to establish successful client relationships and keep to brief.
The event itself is organised by the lovely people at Wired Sussex, and very ably supported by the hard work, resources and brains of the good folks at Midnight Communications and Sussex Community Internet Project (SCIP).
The DiMAS came about through the work of SCIP and Wired Sussex delivering the legendary Brighton and Hove Web Awards down the years. We recognised that the digital cluster in the south (and especially in Brighton) had become much more than the web agencies alone and we wanted to reflect that in these awards whilst maintaining that uniquely Brighton spirit which always made the Web Awards such an entertaining evening.
Please, wish me luck!
Hello Jonathan
Well I thought you should have won, your site is much much better than mine, I’ve been so busy I haven’t updated mine since May!! Anyway thanks for the mention and link on here. And best of luck with every thing in the future.
Bevan
@Bevan. That was really nice of you, thank you, but you won for a reason – clearly reflected by how busy you’ve been!
Congrats again, and well done. Now I wish you the best of luck clearing a bookshelf or mantle for that trophy – it looked immense!
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
I totally missed the whole event but I’ve read quite a bit about it and it’s pretty cool just commenting on the blog of someone who was nominated. Not sure if your applying again but hope you luck if you do.
Cheers Dan, much appreciated. The night was fantastic, and just being there and part of Sussex’s excellent digital community was enough. Not sure about applying this year, but you never know. Cheers!
