Last year we invited minister Gabrielsen to open The Gathering, the worlds largest computer party, in the Vikingship at Hamar. Of course, it was a complete success.

Like most good things, this too must have a sequel. This year, we will award two prizes from the DoC during TG03:

1.The Minister of Commerce IT-award for most exciting commercial product or most promising new establishment.

2.The Minister of Commerce IT-award for best, practical concept for a new public service.

The winners will each receive 7000 NOK. The jury will consist of both people from The Gathering and the DoC.
