Speaking about the awards Joanne Grehan of the WDC said: “We are delighted that LookWest.ie has been shortlisted by the judging panel of industry experts which included the Irish Internet Association and key influencers.
“The winner in each category will be the organisation with most public votes so we are now asking people from the west, both those living here and those living elsewhere, to vote for LookWest.ie by clicking on http://www.iia.ie/net-visionary/vote/50
“Each person can only vote once so we are hoping that all those who have an affinity or link with the west of Ireland will log on and vote for LookWest.ie ”
Voting closes at midnight on Tuesday September 4 and winners will be announced on Friday September 28. LookWest.ie promotes the west as an attractive and economically advantageous location for enterprise and is the definitive guide to living, working, and doing business in Ireland’s western region.
