    The Grand Jury of the World Summit Award (WSA) examines almost 500
    of the world's best e-Content Websites and ICT projects from August
    29 to 31, WSA says in a news release.

    CityBugs.am project of X-TECH Armenian company is nominated for the
    World Summit Award.

    "We hope we will win. This is very important for us," Hovhannes
    Aghajanyan, head of CityBugs.am project, representative of X-TECH
    company, told Panorama.am.

    CityBugs.am is a website on challenges faced by Yerevan. Its motto is
    "Let us make our city a better place to live in."

    In the first round of the international competition, an online jury
    will now valuate the ventures, creating a shortlist of 15-20 projects
    in each of the eight categories.

    After this, in a three-day process in late August, the WSA Grand Jury,
    consisting of international renowned ICT experts and industry leaders,
    will meet in Tallinn/Estonia to evaluate the submissions from the
    remaining nominees and select the 40 best products. The jury members
    of the Grand Jury come from all continents and have backgrounds in
    the creative industries, telecommunication, advertising, journalism
    and research, as well as in teaching. The jury will be hosted by
    national partners such as the Estonian ICT Cluster.

    Finally, the 40 world's best e-Content applications (5 products in
    each of the WSA categories) are selected to present their products in
    front of an international audience in Colombo/Sri Lanka from Oct. 23
    to Oct. 25.

    After the selection in Estonia, the 40 WSA winners will get the chance
    to present their products at the WSA World Congress in Sri Lanka, Oct.

    23 to Oct. 25. The event will offer a platform for high level experts,
    industry leaders and government representatives to discuss innovation
    in mobile content. At the event, an on sight jury will again evaluate
    the products to select eight overall winners: The WSA Global Champions
    2013.

    The World Summit Award (WSA) is the global follow-up initiative of the
    United Nations World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) organised by
    the International Center for New Media (ICNM), Salzburg, Austria. It
    partners with the key UN organisations and agencies in the framework
    of the UN Geneva Agenda and the Tunis Action Plan and selects and
    promotes the world's best e-Content and innovative ICT applications;
    to date more than 160 countries are actively involved. Through national
    pre-selections and contests together with a global jury process, WSA
    demonstrates the local diversity and rich creativity of ICT use. WSA
    is a global hub for everyone who values the crucial importance of
    local content to make today's information society more inclusive.
