CENTR Announces 2015 Awards Shortlist

August 27, 2015 by Michele Neylon

The 2015 CENTR Awards will be held in October in Brussels. Earlier this week the shortlist of finalists was announced. Here’s the list:

Marketing category:

  • AustriaLoves.at – “Darlinks” of the nation, NIC.AT (.at)
  • Domain Pirates campaign, IIS (.se)
  • “Without a name it remains a dream” campaign, Registro.it

Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) category:

• OPTIMISE Fund, IEDR (.ie)
• Browse in Catalan, Fundació PuntCAT (.cat)
• Community Investment Program, CIRA (.ca)

Research and Development (R&D) category:

• Zonemaster by Afnic and .IIS (.fr, .se)
• Knot DNS by CZ.NIC (.cz)
• turing by Nominet (.uk)

Security category:

• Rapid adoption of DNSSEC, Norid (.no)
• Collaboration on auditing the ISO27001 ISMS, Christa Falkensammer (SWITCH [.ch]), Boban Krsic (DENIC [.de]) and Christian Proschinger (NIC.AT [.at])
• Turris Project, CZ.NIC (.cz)

Contributor of the Year category:

• Lise Fuhr (DK Hostmaster, .dk) and Mathieu Weill (Afnic, .fr) (combined nomination)
• CZ.NIC (Registry as a whole)
• Marcos Sanz (DENIC, .de)
• Kristof Tuyteleers (DNS Belgium, .be)

The awards are aimed at the ccTLD registries and their staff and there isn’t a public vote, which is a pity, as some of these campaigns are really interesting, while others are a little “special”.

The .se registry’s “domain pirates” campaign, for example, is a very good example of horrible marketing, as it relies on FUD:

While the .it registry’s campaign is a lot more “positive”. Check out the English version or the original Italian.
