In Russia, appeared "Runet antipremia"

The first laureate of the Runet Anti-Prize was the Runet Prize for creating conditions for the emergence of an alternative. The project is dedicated to the “most dubious achievements” on the Web.

“Anti-prize Runet” , as you might guess from the name, opposes itself to the popular “Runet Prize”. To the contrary, she copies not only the idea of ​​her ancestor, but also the design of the official site. This is what its organizers say about this: “From year to year, the national Runet Prize presents its awards to its nominees. At the same time, for some reason, the RuNet itself with enviable persistence does not consider these nominees worthy of a prize. Runet does not understand how difficult this is to select the right nominees and persuade them to accept the prize. He does not appreciate the hard work of the organizers. Criticizing is always easy - but try to do it! So we gathered, thought, and decided: why not? We will do! But since there are no two Runet awards, we decided: “We are not making a premium, but an anti-prize!” And we will nominate not for outstanding achievements in the Internet field, but quite the opposite - for doubtful achievements. Albeit outstanding, but - dubious. After all, you will agree, as to whether an achievement is “outstanding”, one can still argue. And about dubious achievements - everything is clear at once, without disputes and options. ”

It is noteworthy that the “Runet Prize” in absentia received a “special award” for creating conditions for the occurrence of anti-award. Among others, Google was nominated for anti-award “for loyalty to its Russian roots and persistent many years of activity, called“ Google comes to Russia. Already this year ", the company" MasterHost "" for the innovative technology of cooling data center servers by sprinkling them with dry ice during the summer heat "and Artemy Lebedev" for the project "POKA, NOKIA".

The organizing committee of the anti-award included such famous Internet figures as Andrei Shipilov, “responsible for healthy meaning,” Alexey Borodkin, “responsible for artistic fiction,” public assessor Max Makarenkov, and many others.

“Anti-prize is not an innovation,” said Olga Podlesnaya, head of the press service of ROCIT. - There are and were anti-prizes in the world - there was Antibuker, there is “Golden Raspberry”, which Tom Cruise and Sharon Stone received. Someone encourages the best, someone reveals the worst. Now antipremii reached and Runet. And I think this was to be expected. The Internet has become a completely integral part of our life. This is already a whole universe with a huge number of services, media, communities, etc. The time to determine not only the best, but also the worst - apparently, the organizers of the Antipremiya decided so. We sincerely hope that the “worst” will not take offense at them. And they will accept this project, like other similar ones, with humor. Because no other way such projects can not be perceived. "
